What Is It With Me And The Police?

Darren and I attempted finally to go see Traffic. Right as we stepped up to the window, after waiting on a long line, they flashed SOLD OUT on the screen. We proceed to go rent a movie to watch over at Stacey’s and Jen’s place. We decided on Almost Famous, which turned out to be a pretty good movie.

At the end of the night, right after taking the video back to the rental store, I realized I was missing my wallet. I called Jen to ask her if she could look at her apartment. She couldn’t find it. So Stacey, who was driving, took me back to her apartment to try to locate it. I called Darren to ask if maybe I left it in the van. No luck at either places. So I called the video store (where we just came from). They said that they just turned a wallet over to the police department, but couldn’t remember the name. I guess my name doesn’t really stick out in anyone’s mind.

Anyway, I called the police department, and they said a wallet was just turned into them, and that I should come to the station to pick it up. So Stacey and I go back on the road to conclude the adventure. I walked into the department, and the officer there handed it over to me. He didn’t even ask if it was mine. He didn’t ask for any alternate forms of identification. He didn’t mention that my license showing was expired. (Yes, my valid license was there too, but hidden.) Luckilly, none of my six dollars was stolen.

Somehow I seem to be able to come up with the strange run-ins with the police.
