A Scary Halloween!!!

Yesterday afternoon, a bank (Wachovia Bank) branch about 1 mile from our house was robbed by 3 armed men! I drove on an errand from our house and noticed all the police cars and police ribbon around the bank. When I got back from my errand, a police helicopter was circling over our neighborhood.

About 15 police cars were cruising around and we learned on the news that they caught 2 of the 3 men. They had crashed a Ford Mustang into a ditch (no further than 1/2 mile from our house) and the car completely burned up. They arrested one of the men at the car crash site, and another in someone's backyard using a police dog.

The 3rd man got away. About 30 mins after the police basically left our neighborhood, our neighbor and his wife saw a young man come out of the storm gutter through the man hole cover!! He had been hiding out.

This is 2 houses down from where we live. He had a cell phone and was picked up by an accomplice in a Nissan pickup!! The police caught him today, but it was a weird Halloween.

We had about a dozen groups of kids trick or treating last night. And we watched the James Cameron movie Aliens.

[Michelle here adding on...] Here's what I wore to work yesterday for Halloween, I was a pregnant school girl :-) And check out the sweet pumpkin cutout we had in our front yard. Some of you might remember this sign. Before I moved to Texas my Dad cut the board into the shape of a pumpkin and painted it!
