late weekend update

So I had a gig Fri. and Sat., the usual place, it went fine, but as I was driving into my neighbourhood I noticed a higher number of youthes in the streets than normal. Parked the car behind the house, went inside, watched a little tv (this is around 2:30-3:00).

About 3:15, I hear noises outside, loud voices so I look and there are 2 kids hanging out by the cable box infront of our house, mixing drinks or something, there's a 26 of vodka there too, and looks like a can of something for mix. I wasn't too worried, until I noticed the one kid (probably 16-17) standing out in the middle of the street looking back and forth (it's a t intersection).

It looked like he was keeping watch while his buddy (who was older looking and much bigger) disappeared down the street, then came back in awhile looking really agitated. So I watched for a bit, and I said "forget it" and called the cops, because it looked pretty damn suspicious.

I get off the phone with the cops, and I was sort of keeping an eye on the kids, when a couple of others comes up, more drunken speech, they leave. I now notice the kid on lookout has what appears to be a long knife, I'm assuming kitchen knife, which is glinting in the streetlight. Needless to say I call the cops again, this time quite a bit more agitated. By this time it's about 3:30 or so, so I basically was waiting around for them to arrive.

Almost 1/2 hour later (15 minutes or more after the punks left) they show up, shining a spotlight on our house, and phoning us from a cell phone. "This is officer so and so ... we'll drive around the streets, back alleys, and call you if we find anyone". Needless to say about 10 minutes later I see them driving the opposite direction, away from our house. No call, thanks for coming. Next time I'll skip the first call and say something about drugs, and knives and asian gangs, maybe they'll come faster.
