I always told people I lived in the real world version of Mayberry RFD...well I think Andy and Barney would be soooo much better than what I've got now.

OK..my thief got arrested, heard that thru the rumor mill the nite it happened...it was also in the local arrest report in our little newspaper here. So I got curious for some details. So I called the " detectives" working on the " stealings" here in the valley.

I called him and asked him if " John" was still in jail. His reply was, " I didn't know he was in jail! Are you sure??" I just about dropped the phone. I yelled back YES it's in the paper...don't you read???

He looked it up on the computer and " Ah...yeah..we got him!". Well, helles belles I just told him that!!

Anyway, here it seems that from one shift change to the next there is no information shared. Whomever the road patrol picks up/locks up is not shared with others in related departments.

I asked the ' detective' what if they--the road patrols-- pick up a guy that YOU NEED ...say just by accident they get the very guy you may be looking for...and because ya'll don't talk to each other you've missed an opportunity .

He waited and said, " You got a good point".

Surely, someone pleeeease tell me that this IS NOT the normal way of police procedure!!!!
