[TGE-mail] Not Thrilled With Police Response

[J. T.]

 That is quite audacious for the cat nappers to make a repeat visit. Next time call 911 and report it as a attempted robbery.  They have to log every 911 call and the response time.

 On Saturday, 2/10, the couple showed up at my door, upset because I had  stopped payment on their $50 check. I explained my action in no uncertain terms,  and they left. I wondered, at that point, whether to report them to the  police...but I figured this was small fry in comparison to their usual  concerns.
  
 Last evening, 2/13, between 5 and 5:30. the man paid me a visit alone. Of  course I didn't open my storm door; we spoke through it. He was furious, called  me the obvious obscenity, and accused me of blatant racism. He showed his anger  physically by flinging open my front gate and leaving it--until I motioned him  please to shut it. The fact that he complied was reassuring in terms of his,  well, sanity. Still, I thought the police should know about the incident.
  
 I called them at about 5:30. By 6:40, no one had arrived to take my report.  When I called to inquire, they said they had someone "on the route" who would  be stopping by soon. At 7:05 a very nice female officer showed up,  listened empathically to the account, and advised me to dial 911 if the  offender(s) showed up again and to try to keep them around till the police could  get here. She did not write down a word I said, nor did she ask for a physical  description of the two scammers. 
  
 Was I being patted on the head and dismissed? I'd like to know the thoughts  of anyone who cares to reply, pro or con. Thanks.
