Remember the thread about my home being burglarized?

Well, almost a year later, I got a friendly call from an officer about it.
Now, before I continue, I must admit...my first thought was "am I getting cased," since the caller wanted to know if I was around, and when I'd be around. I must admit, your first instinct when asked by someone you don't know if your home might be to ask what this is about...but since it was an officer, and it could have been something related to a call TO my house, I said "no" without hesitation. After I had hung up, with no return call number to call back, I was a little leery.
I ended up calling the detective who originally investigated my case afterward and spoke with him...he checked the files, and though he had nothing to offer, he did reassure me that I probably wasn't being cased. He offered to drive by the house, which he did, called back to let me know everything was in order...even complimented my truck, lol.
So back to the first call: the officer calls up and ask if I'm around, (I wasn't) and then when I'd be home...as he wanted to show me a picture of the suspect, so I could attest that alleged perp had never had permission to be at my house, or could have elsewhere come into contact the objects that his prints were found on.
While at Tom and Meg's (BAD & GOODLS1's) I got a call back asking me to actually come down to the precinct....so I did. From there, he pulls out the file to show me the picture of the suspect. Yep, didn't know him. Just some young punk who from the picture even looked like he'd be trouble...
After 1 year, after having actually taken prints, they finally got the prints back with a positive match...so the officer says that with my testimony, the prints, etc, they have enough that they'll actually likely make an arrest tonight!
Got to say, thanks for the hard work MPD! :thumbsup
