Happy Tuesday, everyone! First I want to tell you about a great price for Justice Delivered! Right now the ebook is only…$1.59!! at Amazon and Christian Books! For Nook, it’s $1.99. So if you don’t have it, here’s your chance to get it for pennies! 🙂
Be sure to tell all your friends!
Now onto last week’s question that involves more 9-1-1 calls. See if you can tell which one I made up.
- When a woman saw a fire in her bathroom, she called 911. The fire department showed up to discover that the “flames” were just sunlight reflecting off the shower curtain.
- A man called police when Subway employees left off his sauce. He then called back to complain that officers weren’t responding fast enough.
- A man called 911 to report a squirrel was eating his birdseed. He wanted the police to arrest the squirrel and lock it up.
- In 2013, some crooks butt-dialed 911 in Oklahoma, right after robbing a house. Apparently, they were overheard discussing their loot.
And the answer is…Congrats to all of you who got it right, and Edward who remembered me using it once before (although he chose a different answer…)–#3! Guess I’ll have to retire the squirrels…
Now for this week’s Mystery Question. I’m back to stupid criminals. Three of the scenarios are true and one is made up. Can you tell which one:
- A man’s garage door malfunctioned so he installed a camera until he could get it repaired. His neighbor came over and borrowed a paintbrush, saw the camera and took it, too. But he forgot to turn it off and police quickly traced it through its live streaming.
- The crooks made their way to the open air tank at a zoo and quickly slipped a baby shark into a stroller and then strolled out. Once again a camera foiled them by catching them as they put the shark into the back of a pickup along with the tag number.
- I’m not exactly sure which crime this one covers, but video captured a man taking a bubble bath in the sink at a fast food restaurant.
- This guy should get Father of the Year for covering up the $500 theft of his son’s sales from selling Boy Scout popcorn with a fake armed robbery. Again a camera foiled him when the alleged robbery failed to show up on security footage.
Okay, Super Sleuths, which one did I make up? Leave your answer in the comments, and I’ll enter you in a drawing for a book from my library.

I am hoping # 3 was made up.
Author
We’ll see, Joni. Can’t you just see that one?? :-/
#3, I don’t think the sink is big enough for a bubble bath, at least I hope not
Author
Hi Phyllis…that’s a thought. Thanks for stopping by.
Yup, I gotta agree, I really hope #3 was made up!
Author
I totally understand, Monique. Thanks for commenting.
#4
Author
We’ll see, Lisa. Thanks for stopping by.
Aw, you made up #4. The concept is believable though.
Author
We’ll see, Tim. Unfortunately, all the scenarios are plausible…thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I think I have to say 3.
Author
Number three is gaining a lot of support, Jackie. We’ll see next week if that’s the correct answer. Thanks for dropping by.
# 3
Author
We’ll see Brittany, and I’ll put you in the #3 column. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
I think it’s #2. Pretty sure I saw a security cam photo of #3 on Facebook. Yuck!
Author
Maybe, Pam. We’ll know for sure next week. 🙂 Thanks for dropping by.
I am going with #2 this week.
Author
Number two is gaining on #3 now, Gloria. We’ll see who is correct next week. Thanks for commenting.
#2
Author
We’ll see Jeanna. Thanks for dropping by and commenting!
I think the crime in the third one must of been for “indecent ‘reposure’.” Most likely, he violated some sanitation law that was passed many years ago when the phrase “don’t through out the baby with the dishwater” was prevalent. LOL! I think #3 was made up.
Author
We’ll see, Edward, and as usual, I love your logic. Thanks for stopping by!
#2 is made up. Even dumb crooks would know the shark would die without being in water.
Author
You would think, Cindy, but don’t forget the mentality we’re dealing with here. lol Thanks for dropping by.
I think #2 is made up. 🙂
Author
We’ll see, Alicia, we’ll see. Thanks for commenting.
#3 (I’v heard the story about the stolen shark!
Author
We’ll see, MS Barb, we’ll see. Thanks for commenting!
#3 is fake because the sink is too small to do a bubblebath in!
Author
I think #3 has the most votes, Shelia, but we’ll see next week. Thanks for dropping by.
This is a hard one this week because, once again, they ALL could be true! It’s between #2 and #3 for me but I can’t pinpoint which one– #2 because I would think a) the shark would try to bite them as they took it out of the tank or b) like someone else said, logic would tell you it would die outside of the water & #3 because I would think the sink is too small to take a bath in (but dumber things have been done). So in my flawed logic, I simply can’t choose which one…lol!
Thanks for the fun, I had to laugh at the bubble bath in the sink one 😀
Author
It’s always fun reading your comments, Trixi, and we’ll see next week which answer is correct. 🙂
I think #3 is so crazy it must be true….lol. I will go with #4 as the one that is made up 🙂
Author
I like your logic, too, Betti. We’ll see next week if it works. 🙂
I think it’s #3.
We’ll see, Caryl. Thanks for stopping by.
I believe #4
Author
We’ll see Kathy, we’ll see. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
I’ve read some of these as true, as unbelievable as they sound. I’m saying it’s #2 this week as some of the wording fails to convince me the shark could survive.
Author
We’ll see, Delores, we’ll see. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
