so you had a bad day.....

So how was your day at work yesterday? well want to hear about mine...

I got to work on time (which was a feat in itself) and this is what I drove up to.



Apparently some thief had broken into the pharmacy in our building, setting off the motion sensor alarms. The whole building was evacuated because they didn't know if the perp was still in the building. Apparently part of the ceiling tiles in the lobby were broken and they thought maybe he had climbed into the air ducts and was somewhere in the building. We waited outside for 2 hrs while they called in, what seemed like, every policeman in Moses Lake and did a sweep of the building (guns in tow). While we waited I of course had to take pictures, but i had to be sly...didn't know if documenting this drama for an awesome blog post would get me in trouble with the law.


for the first hour Dr. Earl decided he was just going to stay in his office so he shut the door and the blinds....apparently the thought of a crazy drug seeker possibly armed hiding from the law in our building was not enough to draw him away from his newspaper....what a funny guy.


but after this official looking guy showed up with a vest, gun, and headphones and spouting words like "perimeter" we decided we should tell the officers about our boss and get him out of the building.



This is after the sweep of the building when we were finally able to get into work. The bad guy was no longer in the building....darn it...I was really hoping for some action.


This was the crime scene in the lobby. This is what they believe happened...

The lobby is opened usually around 7:00am to accomodate the different work schedules of the offices. Obviously the bad guy knew that the pharmacy didn't open until later. According to the pharmacy tapes the perpetrator climbed up through the ceiling


(we believe hoping to avoid the alarm on the pharmacy door) and landed in the pharmacy setting off the motion sensor alarm. This obviously freaked him out and he ran out the door, without getting his hands on anything. Poor guy...all that work for nothing.

Don't if you can see it but this officer is actually sweeping for prints (like on CSI) it was so awesome!)

Oh, too funny that David stayed in there. Love all the pictures you took. Sign that you live in a small town---when all the cops in the town are workin' on the case. Happens in Tri-town too.

Sweet photos taken on the sly. I love watching drama unfold all the while thinking of how I'm going to post about it, ha! Small town business for sure. The fingerprint sweeping is the best. David is funny.

I wish they had caught the guy. I would love to see who the "perp" was.

Ok, Ang, I love your blog. I can't stop laughing when I read it. The work drama was hilarious, and Heather and I totally agree with your 5 comments on the last SYTYCD episode. I mean, come on Mary, did your 3 yr old daughter dress you in a high school Halloween outfit or something? And besides Twitch and Kherington, we also think Katee and Joshua are another couple to watch.

Hmmm... the last time I heard someone called "the perpetrator" I think we were TP-ing Andrew's house. :) Wish I had gotten away before the cops came like this guy did. Ahhh, memories.
