Proof again that even a wide imagination cannot fathom the breadth of incompetence possible from a local population. Even if you could list all of the things that people might actually do, you'd fall short as this individual demonstrated. Good work keeping all safe, both you and good graces. Your situational awareness was better than a scroll of possible thing people might do.
Keep up with the officer, he can't go knocking down the door if not in unbroken pursuit of a high level of crime. I was T-boned in the driver's door by a drunk who continued off (without headlights) and pursued by responding state police. With personal information gleaned from a partial plate number by a witness they had the drivers address and two officers knew her and her favorite watering hole but could not act once the pursuit was called off when they lost contact with the fleeing vehicle. Implications for me were the total loss of my beloved and irreplaceable '96 5-speed Legacy wagon "work" car. If they had continued contact and been able to find her and the vehicle, her insurance (which I overheard them verify on the officers' radios) my remedy from her insurance would have differed greatly from what did occur (absolutely nothing). Law enforcement, or should I say the lawyering in anticipation of an offender's defense, necessitates that a seemingly very winding path be taken to justice. Be like Patrick on the ride to Rampart and keep the course, mud in the figurative fenders and all.
