I fully expect the individual who 'lost' it would go to the police to reclaim his/her B&E kit - sorry, 'lost property'

True story, I had been riding in a vehicle that was a victim of hit and run.
The guy got away. This was another town about 45 minutes away.
I had gone to my local town's chiropractors office two days after as my neck was letting me know about it.
Sitting next to me in the waiting room as a man with a crew cut telling a story into his cell phone.
The story he was telling was a car chase with a pick up truck. At the end he mentioned his police car was in the body shop and he wouldn't have it back for a little bit.
When he got off the phone I asked him some questions.
Turns out it was the same night.
Turns out it was the same color of truck.
Turns out it was the same make of truck.
Turns out the color of the shirt of the driver was the same.
Turns out the time of the clock was just a few minutes after we were hit.
It would seem that the guy running from us screeched into a parking lot to try to cut away, he was out of our sight at the time. He hit a parked police car with the officer inside.
And that officer was the guy sitting next to me waiting on his wife.
A N.C. state trooper had taken our hit and run report, the guy was a town cop in Matthews N.C. The two incidents were not connected until that point in the chiropractor's office waiting room.
Turns out the guy tried to run away again, but with multiple police cars after him he eventually jumped out of his still moving truck and ran off into the woods. The officer had to block the truck to stop it.
They hunted the driver down with dogs. He had been DUI.
He was also uninsured.
But anyway, sometimes it just takes connecting the right dots.
