On a more likely than not interesting note . . .

Last night we had a helicopter flying directly over our complex for half an hour starting at 10:30pm. We also saw a few police cars while we driving into the complex. We had an interesting time speculating what crime had been committed and watching the helicopter.

It seems every time the in-laws come over, something criminal happens in the neighborhood. :P The first time they came, we heard gun shots during the night that sounded at least as close all the apartment complex next door. It's just a funny coincidence and makes me wonder what will happen when they next come for our interest and entertainment.

We were told later that it was probably a chase that either ended by catching the criminal or they escaped.

Needless to say, once we can afford an upgrade, we'll try and find a less disconcerting neighborhood, but until then, we will be eternally grateful to live in the only gated complex in the area. :P
