Some of the news discussion regarding George Zimmerman has been about how many times in the past he called the police. Prosecution says he's a wannabe. Defense says he's a concerned citizen.

Made me think... I probably end up calling the police non-emergency number once or twice every few years. Don't think of my self as a wannabe or a vigilante. Just figure it's better safe than sorry to call in stuff when it crosses a certain line.

Last year we saw some teenage boys climbing on top of the playground sunshade at the park next to my house - it's about 20 ft off the ground and was destroyed a year earlier.

Couple of years ago my wife saw a guy checking car doors in a shopping center parking lot. After I saw him inside a car digging through the glove box I did call 911. He was arrested.

Last time was just a couple of weeks ago when I followed signs to an indoor garage sale and the house was trashed. Graffiti like paint inside, holes in the walls, garage door rollers removed, comments from the guy holding the sale to the young boy who was with him about "getting back at her."

At what point do you pick up the phone to call the police?
