[Highland Park] Incident Sunday early morning
In light of the recent break-ins that we've been experiencing in HP, I wanted to alert the neighborhood to something I saw Sunday morning... I was driving down Farragut St. early in the morning to pick up my son from his friend's house in the 800 block of Farragut St. As I approached the corner of Farragut (900 block) and Jackson, I saw a man just lingering on the corner. It was 1:45 am and pouring down rain. Something just didn't feel right to me, so after picking up my son, I decided to circle the block and go back up Farragut to see if he was still there. He was, but this time he was joined by two younger men, possibly older teens. My gut instinct told me that something was up. When I got home, I called 911 and reported what I had seen. I apologized to the dispatcher for possibly reporting something that might seem trivial, but he disagreed with me and said I did the right thing and that at 1:30 in the morning in the pouring rain, these guys were probably up to no good. I don't know if the police were sent to checked it out. Once again, illustrates the need for all of us to keep our eyes open as we drive our neighborhood streets and to listen to our instincts — no matter the time of day. If something looks suspicious or just doesn't feel right, report it and let the police determine its validity. Marcie McGuire
