1.) A friend since kindergarten. In high school, he got into alcohol and possibly drugs and ended up dropping out. He’s been in and out of jail since then. About ten years ago, I got in touch with him through his father. He would call me collect, and we’d chat. One time when he wasn’t in jail and I was visiting the hometown, I took him out to lunch. A quick internet search says that he’s back in jail.
2.) A former college professor for the Religion class I took was arrested two years ago for two counts of child molestation. The guy was 92 at the time of his arrest. He died several months later, and there hasn’t been any additional reports posted on what happened with the case.
3.) One night after my shift as a hotel desk clerk, I went down into the parking garage to get the car. Two guys were there rummaging around in a car. They asked if I needed any assistance. I said, ‘No’, and high-tailed it back to the lobby. All cars were parked by the bellmen (except for the employees’), and they didn’t work there. The police showed up, but the men were gone. Unfortunately, my car, being locked, had a hole punched in the driver’s door so they could get inside.
