A Close Call


Blinking lights?

Two Policemen?

What has anything to do with the blinking lights and two Policemen? It has nothing to do about getting a moving violation ticket. Two policemen and blinking lights were facing in a front of our home at 11:30 P.M !

A night before we headed for a mini get-a-away vacation to Ventura County, David noticed there was a BRIGHT blinking light facing Dylan's bedroom. He was puzzled and decided to take a peek out of window. Seeing two policemen and two men in a front of our home startled David. He then managed to go downstairs and to go outside to find out what was happening while the boys and I were sound asleep. Yes, that's right our two hearing sons did not even hear the sirens or seeing the bright flashing lights. It amazed us even Children of Deaf Adults (CODA) did ignore the noisy environment.

While we were asleep, David discovered that the two men reported to two policemen that one of the person tried to steal our TREK bikes from our locked van. It startled David and left him wondering how the world a " close call" thief opened our back of the van's tailgate door even it has an alarm inside of the van. However, we were very fortunate that the alarm had scared the thief away and was unable to steal the bikes.

Unfortunately, the two witnesses were unable to recognize the thief's face, but did make a report about the incident to the two policemen. The policemen asked David if anything was stolen or any damage from our van that we were packed for our mini get-away vacation. That was blessing from an guardian angel for protecting us not to have any valuable bikes being stolen, broken windows or damage the keyholes.

Later, we learned from my father in law, who is the manager of the car dealer, telling me that the thieves do find a way to play with the remote control. But there are no way of making the alarm remaining quitely. Doesn't that make you feel nauseous there are many ruthless people out there???

At the end, all we could say we were blessed for this time for not having our bikes or damaged in our van. Let's hope it continued to this way when we get home from our mini get-a-away Labor's Weekend vacation.
