Our good neighbors with the child knocked on our door a few minutes ago. They saw a black man leaping fences and running through backyards so they called the police and went door-to-door warning neighbors. In our city, yards are fenced and most of our fences are 6 to 7 feet tall for privacy since our houses are close together. Now there's a helicopter hovering over our block, searching the backyards from the air.

This stuff doesn't usually happen in our neighborhood. I wonder why he was running through backyards instead of strolling casually down the sidewalk? Our neighborhood is diverse enough that he wouldn't have gotten any attention at all that way.

I peeked out the window to our backyard. Chloe wasn't in her chair. I guess he passed through our yard and she hid.

Updates will follow...

ugh... that sucks I'm sorry. We have the state home about a mile from my house, where they send all the people who plead insanity in court. They get out from time to time, and that's always scary. We get notifications and are supposed to stay indoors, and once they found one naked in the cornfield next to my house.

This is a new experience for me. Our neighborhood has the lowest crime rate in one of the safest cities in the USA. It was scary to poke my head into the back yard to see a guy in full SWAT gear telling me, "Ma'am, go inside."

They flushed a scared black cat from our bushes. Poor Loki was completely freaked.

We never saw him. The only thing the police flushed from our bushes was a very scared black cat! Poor Loki!

He was. The officer in the street who saw him first chuckled at Loki's terrified "YOOOOOOWWWWW!"
