Good Samaritan in da house

Such a Good Sam my Mr. P.

Mr. P was driving on a city street with a mind on reaching the bank when he saw two Hispanic men emerging from a busy retail parking lot and running out into the street.

He noticed a distressed Asian man and woman, and a few other people chasing the Hispanic men who ran madly to the next street over and boarded a waiting SUV. The truck sped off down the street, running a red light as it made a turn into cross-traffic.

Although Mr. P wasn't exactly sure a crime had taken place, he followed the truck to get the make and license plate number and noted which direction the truck was headed.

He returned to the scene of the crime and noticed a police patrol car already there. He dutifully provided as much detail as possible to the policewoman.

Mr. P had forgotten to turn off his mobile phone so I was privy to his conversation with the police officer. They discussed for nearly 20 minutes.

With the other witnesses' descrīptions and Mr. P's identification of the get-away car, I hope the assailants will be located (fat chance, though).

What was the crime? Mr. P has no idea. The police officer kept the witnesses separated so they wouldn't discuss with each other. Perhaps the victims were robbed at the ATM since many banks are in this area.

It isn't very often you become a witness to a crime in progress and are able to provide assistance to law enforcement. Good job Mr. P!

P.S. I hope others do what they can if they find themselves in such situations instead of turning the other cheek.
