It was either Monday or Tuesday afternoon and Liz and I were sitting in our living room with our macbooks and all of a sudden, someone was banging on our front door. Since we weren't expecting anyone, my immediate reaction was, "I'm not answering it!" And then we heard a radio.
Not like a music radio, like a walkie talkie radio. Liz and I exchanged confused looks and wondered, "Is it the police?!" We do not have a peep hole in our door so I quietly crept over to the windows and was trying to spy out of tiny hole in the blinds to see who was there. I told Liz, "There's a police shaped car out there. You know, it looks like a police car, but it's not painted like one. And it has really dark windows." So Liz went to another window to see if she could get a better look. We heard something at the door, and then I saw the back of someone's head get into the car.
But the car stayed, and stayed... and stayed. When it finally left, we opened the door and found a paper door hanger that said Sorry We Missed You at the top. Followed by:
You have active warrants.
To avoid being arrested,
please call...
Then on the back there is a clipart picture of someone getting handcuffed and again it says Sorry We Missed You!
Sure. Sorry you weren't home so we could arrest you! Maybe next time... give us a call!
Turns out the notice was intended for a previous tenant at our address. I thought the whole thing was really funny, but Liz had her doubts.
The next day I went to the Garland Police Department to get a background check done. Strangely enough, these incidents were not related in the least. Due to regulations in Romania, I need a background check in order to be allowed to work with young children. I can certainly appreciate their protection of the children! And now I'm one step closer.
