Let me set the stage for you. The site is www.eastsacwatch.com. I wrote this because…it’s self explanatory. It’s not funny. It’s not sad. It’s what it is. If you don’t figure it out by the end of the rambling response, call me. Happy reading. 11/15/08 - On 11/14 at around 6:30pm one of our neighbors followed a man on a bicycle to Aiken Way near Elvas. The man appeared to be casing homes with a flashlight and when confronted by the neighbor, a verbal altercation occurred. Police were called but arrived after the man left. I met my Fiance for drinks last night at 33rd Street Bistro. She chuckled as she showed me an ad for this website in the latest East Sac News paper as we ate a goat cheese appetizer. She’s made fun of me for a while now concerning my confrontation with an overzealous Nancy Drew. It happened after work which is normally after 6pm. Since I ride my bike to work everyday it isn’t uncommon for me to wear an old snow jacket to keep warm in the winter months. That particular Friday I decided to take the long way home because I like the area I live. It isn’t a grid and you can get lost wandering about. That’s exactly what I was doing. Checking out the houses for sale and looking for renovation ideas for the day when I can upgrade my own home. Since I lost the clip that holds my bike light to the handle bars I have since the summer held it in my left or right hand because being without one I’ve been told is a crime. This paragraph doesn’t make sense, but it will once this narrative ends. I’m setting the stage. Somehow, someway my course led me to Coloma Way. As I rode along the road I noticed an ostentatious McMansion being remodeled right next to another over sized home. Needless to say they looked wrong for the area. As I passed the pompous pair of homes a car heading south that seemed to be lost stopped in the street. Perhaps to check the directions they were given. As I was closing in on Elvas I decided to turn back around. It was Friday and what else was I going to do. The car followed me around the corner and on to 46th. As I got to Elvas I turned around again and wondered if this lost car was following me because it never attempted to pass. The car did a three pointer and continued it’s slow OJ chase. That’s when I decided that I wasn’t paranoid, but that this person thought I was some sort of criminal. I had heard about all the break ins in recent months. My Fiances boss lost a wallet right off the kitchen table near an open window a few days before. Needless to say I decided to act the part because I wanted to make this an ordeal to remember for this unknown amateur private dick. Emphasis on the dick. After the person in the car took a picture of me as I turned back again on 45th I let loose with some profanities because I was so pissed off. I wanted to make the person in the car look like an idiot, but instead I too drank the flavor aid. My anger got the better of me, as it often does, and I snapped. I went down one more street and confronted her on Aiken Way. I lit into her in the most vile way. Threatening her children with harm via shoving body parts in areas not meant for those things here. Espousing my love of violating everything sacred there. All in all a thorough oratory. A woman came out of her home and tried to calm us, me, down and I told her that I just got done raping 4 women and this saint just saved the day. I went on and on how I wanted her to call the police so I could tell them of her many virtues. It went on until she drove away. With the confidence one would get after slaying a rabbit with an Uzi I waited for the police. I had a laugh when the person who tried to help locked her deadbolt. My assumption was that the woman understood her mistake and knew that she wasn’t on the heels of Pablo Escobar. Apparently I was wrong. This site is inherently good. A bunch of people doing their best impression of a police officer. In some cases it works and in others, well in others it doesn’t. This site isn’t deliberately expressing vigilantism, but what happens when the person someone follows is a criminal and not just a bad tempered a-hole like myself. They’re going to start a confrontation that they don’t want and maybe end up worse for the wear. So I would take down the above entry that I copied on my reply because it was B.S. and try to express to the people that frequent this site to be cautious. Not every person that fits the stereotype of a criminal is a criminal.
