Police

Last night I was just about done at the Clubhouse when some one knocked on the door nearly scaring me to an early death. It was one of the regulars who had observed some weird behavior from a few teenagers.

I told him that I would look in to it and satisfied with that he left.

I turned all lights of and checked the doors and set the alarm. I jumped in Betty and drove through the parking lot, crossed the street and up the drive to the fitness center.

As my head lights lit up the asphalt in front of me I saw some sort of contraption in the road way. It seemed to be a skate board ramp/jump aimed so that one would land on the practice green.

I got out of the car and started to take the jump down when a SUV pulled in behind me and some teens jumped out wondering what the f*** I was doing with their jump.

I questioned who they were and if they knew they were trespassing on private property which they sort of acknowledged but one of them live here so they were in their rights. I off course informed them that so was not the case and questioned who would pay for damages to the green would they have jumped with their bikes up on to it.

This didn't sit so well with these youngsters and I was getting cursed more and more. I started to feel very uncomfortable as they surrounded me and I did what I guess a lot of people do. I called the police and gave the police the tag number of their car.

The teens got really pissed and a few wanted to take off before police arrived but I guess the driver of the car had done that before, he knew better to stay put than being chased by police.

Police arrived and got my input and spoke with the guys. I got the feel that the officers had come across these guys before and at the end let them go.

The teens hadn't done anything yet to destroy property but were about to and we all know it. At 9.00 o'clock at night there is no good explanation to jump bikes on a golf course green that is unlit.

I'm just glad I didn't get beat up, I'm way to old to take on some 17 year olds.
