Walking on the water

This is going to be a long post people. Please bear with me. Part of this is because I want to share and because I am most creative on my blog so I will combine work with fun and write about my coffee shop writing experience. Ryan and Jordan might not care and only really feel envious (Prov 13:40 Ha ha ha but seriously, its a great proverb especially in the NKJV) Well here goes:

Jokes. I have put the actual story on my other blog. I decided it would be too much to put here. Here is a pic to keep you guys entertained. I will tell you all about my intersting time with the police and our new friend Jamie who will be paying for the four cars he has destroyed to relative degrees.

Okay let me tell you.
Last night as I sat on the couch I have placed in front of my computer. I heard a loud crash coming from the roadside of my house, 9 Oatlands Road. I came out of my room to find my digsmates heading towards the door to investigate.

It sounded very much like a collision but I did not expect what I saw had really happened. As We got to the gate of the house we saw a double-cab Isuzu reversing away from behind one of the cars it had seemingly hit. It roared off up Oatlands and we saw it turn right onto Fitsroy Street.

We ran out onto the pavement and decided to give chase. We also noted that two others cars had been hit and one written off smashed against a tree. Until the Isuzu in question hit a Grey Ford Laser into a Fiat Seicento. Luckily the Fiat was relatively fine and we jumped into to chase the escaping hooligan. Jordan Rainer drove, even stopping at the stop-street below the rail-crossing.

We chased him up Fitzroy and around a block as he tried to avoid us. Then he came back across Fitzroy into Marshall Street where he stumbled from his vehicle to his gate. I approached him and asked if he was alright and if he was drunk. Denying it he fumbled with his keys at his gate. I managed to coax his first name and cellphone number from him while our friends at home called Hi-Tech.

Their armed response unit was there in minutes to help out cuffing the offender. After seeing the damage to his bullbar and bumper they put him into the car making sure he didn't hit his head on the door of the small response vehicle.

It was chaos when I got home, lights, police and the owner of the Ford Laser was crying. I gave a statement and opened a case on behalf of the four car owners who are witnesses along with Rainer.

I don't know what happens from here but I will be getting the case number today and I expect the offender will be convicted of drunken driving and have to pay for the tens of thousands rands worth of damage to property.
