[QUOTE="Old Fart, post: 2486272, member: 4899"] David McCrackens wife had just left for work when his doorbell rang. A quick-thinking homeowner helped police catch a thief. Police said a man was not doing anything unusual for a thief. They said he was casing a neighborhood, but picked the wrong house and got the wrong neighbor. When McCracken opened the door, [B]he found Jeffrey Ervin armed with a gun and a story[/B]. Police said the 18-year-old told McCracken that his name was Mike Smith and that he was looking for a missing dog. I felt silly calling 911. I really did, McCracken said. But police said his instinct was right. Officers caught Ervin stealing from a home about a block away. He didnt seem menacing, McCracken said. He was just robbing the neighborhood. Neighbors said they know they cant stop people from trying to steal from them, but they can keep an eye on the neighborhood and police can take care of the rest.
