As I came home from work the other night I came down Glisan street and was going to turn on to 131st Ave but couldn't, it was being blocked by two police cars. No problem I can go down 128th but it was blocked by two police cars as well. Not a problem I can go down 127th but no it was blocked as well. Not a problem I can go down 124th, there was two police cars but they weren't' blocking the street. I turned and halfway down the street there was two police cars blocking Oregon Street. By now I am just a little nervous. I grew up in this neighborhood and I haven't seen that many police in my life time in the neighborhood. As I got to Hassalo I rolled down my window to ask the police man If I should be worried going home. He told me that they were looking for a man that had stolen a car and had run into the neighborhood. Were I live I have a 10 acre field next door to me. They call it a park but it's a field. I remember as a kid trying to hide from my sisters and laying up next to the fences and they couldn't see me. I told this to the police man and he decided to follow me home. As he walked me up to the front door my dogs started barking. Now Jack hates guns. I don't care if they are plastic or real, he hates them. Now if I didn't know Jack I would have been afraid. The cop said with a little chuckle, I think you are going to be OK, If he was in there I would have to call the coroner. I don't know if they found the guy because I locked up my house and didn't go out again. At least we know that the Portland Police do work.
