They were teenage girls. When they realized, that I wasn't letting up my chase, they started making a commotion to turn the cards around and acted as victims. I forgot to tell you that they had brought two poles with them to probably protect themselves but had left them at the bottom of my porch. As soon as I approached them, I picked up the two poles. All the way up 20th avenue, they were screaming that they were the victims of a mad man chasing them down the street with their shoe and wielding poles with florescent golf balls on the end. Some people even came out of their houses, to confront me, the lunatic chasing young tramps.
Unbeknownst to me, my neighbour, who had witnessed the young skuzzies staking out the house before attempting the break-in, was following me in his van in case they would try to outrun me. Well they did not outrun me as they kept stopping and screaming at me for keeping the shoe. One of them, was coming close enough to try to grab her shoe. At one a point, I stopped to talk to the neighbour following in the van, they thought it was their opportunity to make one last run for it. As they ran between two houses I thought they might have succeeded, that is until I heard a patio door close behind me.
Now I knew at least where one of them lived. Now it was just a matter of time until the cops would show up. Problem is that the cops had not been called yet, even though a dozen or so people had seen this mad man with the golf balls chasing innocent little girls down the street. Having left my front door wide open, I had to go back. My neighbour drove me back home and immediately drove back to make sure that the girls were still in their self made trap. I then phoned the cops and waited what seemed to be an eternity for them. I showed them the open window in the door, gave them the shoe and told them where they would find the girls. They still there in part thanks to my neighbour. By that time, the one that didn't live there had already phoned her mother in tears. Here is the story she told her mother (as told by the mother). She said that her and her friend were just sitting on the front lawn of a person's house having a cigarette, when a crazy old man (that's me) ran out of the house and started chasing down the street and beating them with sticks. When the mother asked her 14 year old daughter where the crazy old man lived so that she would call the cops on him (that's me), she replied that she didn't remember because they had run too far. That's when the mother saw there was something fishy about her daughter's story. I think she better get used to that. That mother also told me that there was no way she would try to break into someone home. Why would she, she said, I give everything she wants. Whenever she asks me for money I give it to her. The other mother who arrived home to see the police in her front yard was even more in denial. There was absolutely no way that her 15 year old daughter would do such a thing. We were making a mistake. She asked me what happened to the boys that were with her trying to break in. It must be that the boys were faster and that they got away. When my neighbour described everything that he saw her daughter do, she was still in disbelief. It was even her daughter that was doing most of the work to get the window open while the other was watching her back.
Had I not been home, I don't believe they would have been brazen enough to enter as the alarm would have immediately gone off but you never know. What would have happened had they been quieter trying to break in and I had not woke up until they had entered the house. There is no telling what I would have done to those little pieces of crap. Of course, being the conniving little bitches they were, they might have turned the whole thing around and made me look like the aggressor.
I asked the cops what happens to them now. They more or less said that it is up to their mothers to discipline them. One) they didn't actually break in. Two) they are only minors so the justice system could not do much to punish them. The police did record the incident and if they get into trouble again, searches will show that they tried things before. The mother said that if there were any damages that she would pay but the window is back and now impossible to open from the inside or the outside. The only thing it will cost me is an major upgrade to my alarm system and not going to bed feeling as safe as I thought I was before. After all there are a lot more older than 14 year old kids that have no sense of the harm they causing when doing these things.
Am I pissed off that they are not being officially disciplined, you ask? Somewhat, but if the girls realized that you can't underestimate little old men and their fierceness in protecting their belongings, then that's a little win. As far as punishment is concerned, I am happy that the mothers are blessed with two such wonderful daughters who have great imaginations, are wonderful story tellers and who have decided that a life of crime is a normal way of growing up. That is, unless this episode has scared them enough to never try it again. We will see.........

To put into perspective how bold these 2 idiots were, below is a view of the side door from the street. To actually think you can get away with breaking into a door at 4:30pm on a Friday afternoon proves that some of our youth are high on something but short on brains.
