A Little Excitement

I was sitting down earlier, finishing off The Life of Pi in the heat of my living room, when I heard an argument through my open back window.
I listened a little, and it sounded like someone was going to do some serious injury to someone else. There were at least two pleading voices saying that they’d been doing nothing. As I peered out to see if I could see anything, it became obvious that they were denying trying to steal a car.
The thought that flashed through my head was that the owner had chased after them and caught them. But I was hearing two voices and I still couldn’t see where the sounds were coming from, but it sounded to me like it was right below my window.
Then I saw two police escorting the lads away from an alley that runs to a neighbour’s back garden. The young lads were handcuffed to the two policemen, who were now walking around to the street front.
Naturally I moved to a front window, and saw them being escorted to a waiting police van on the road that’s at the other end of the alley opposite my front door.
I can surmise that someone in that street saw them doing some mischief to a car – possibly trying to break in – and that the police arrived promptly and chased the youths into the dead-end alley in which they were eventually apprehended.
Good work!
