Here is a story that hit close to home (literally and figuratively). Two women 29 and 40, from New Haven, CT decided to do a little Christmas shopping in the small town of Old Saybrook, CT (home of the Montauk Monster himself) last Friday afternoon. The only problem these ladies came across while doing their shopping is that they left their purses at home. Did the out-of-towners leave the merchandise off to the side to go get their money and come back at a later time to pay? Hell no, they took the $30 boots and ran to their now get-away car waiting in the parking lot of Famous Footwear.
One thing I have come to learn about Old Saybrooks finest (other than the fact they are extremely well dressed; top 100 in the country) is that they will not go down without a fight. They do not care if an outsider comes in to town and robs a bank or if they steal a pack of gum; if you do the town wrong, you will pay (I actually think that is their mission statement, or at least it should be).
The high speed chase took to the streets but the OSPD were tightly on their tails. Boots went flying out of the window of the get-away car but could not slow down these brave police officers (or shoreline soldiers as I call them). The cat and mouse chase took a turn down route 1 and that is when the police knew they had them right where they wanted them. The officer hit the turbo switch on the Batman like police car and got right on the bumper of the women. Not having any more boots to throw at the police, the driver attempted one last death defying maneuver that proved to be their demise.
She took a hard left which lead them through a ditch, missing a tree by an inch and a half, over a curb, through the parking lot, over a stone wall and into an accounting building. Score 1 for OSPD, 0 for the New Haven bandits. However, the OSPD felt the town was still in danger so before the dust could settle, the Chief ran up to the (now totaled car) with his gun drawn. Screams from inside the vehicle due to a plethora of broken bones did not make the chief miss a beat, he wasn't letting his guard down on these intruders.
The accounting building was heavily damaged, the stone wall was destroyed, the files that were once meticulously organized and filed inside were now all over the floor. Driving by the crime-scene an hour or so after it happened, you would have thought that North Korea was invading Old Saybrook based on the amount of officers, emergency personnel and news coverage that was present. The women were taken to the hospital by ambulance because life-star could not land due to "high winds," (at least that is what they told the bitches).
Once again, all is safe in Old Saybrook. Sure there are thousands of dollars of damage to the accounting building, hours of police overtime, damaged by-standards vehicles, citizens lives at risk, two women in critical condition. But hey, Famous Footwear got the two stolen pairs of boots back that were thrown from the window of the vehicle and now have dirt and tire marks all over them. The moral of this story is not "don't steal" or "don't run from the police." The moral of this story is "Old Saybrook isn't afraid to waste thousands of dollars for $30 worth of boots."
