Shopping at the mall...

I guess that it was Saturday afternoon that my wife and I went to Chesterfield Town center. It is a local mall that we shop at sometimes. While we were parking our car, we saw a fight between two kids outside. The little one was getting beat up by a bigger kid. We both reached for our cell phones and called 911. Chesterfield PD was on the scene quickly and took our statements. One of the kids tried to run away and go to his car and leave. We were able to get his license plate number and gave a description of his car. We then went into the mall and finished our business.

On another day, back in 1993, a friend and I were in Beaumont Texas going to Parkdale Mall. We got out of my car and heard a scream! We looked at the front of the mall and we saw a man with a woman and a knife to her neck under her chin. I happened to have a cell in my car, so I called 911 and cave a description of the car and person. The police came and went after that person. Several months later, we got letters in the mail telling us top appear in court for the trial. We did and had to testify as to his actions. He was put away for 18 years for abduction.

Cell phones are very useful for spur of the moment action like that.
