A little bit of an update

We are definitely going to be sad to leave our friends in a few weeks, but definitely not sad to leave this neighborhood. A few weeks ago we heard a helicopter at around 3am. When I looked out the window it was flying pretty low with it's search light on quite near our house. Later that day it was back and when we looked out the window there were cop cars everywhere. They eventually found the guy. I believe he broke into the house two doors down and then ran some more before the cops caught him in the drainage ditch.
Then last night we heard sirens which I thought were just out on the main road. But lo and behold they were right in our neighborhood coming down the road; screeching around the corner in front of our house chasing a car going who knows how fast. There were at least 8 cop cars outside chasing after this car. According to the news he was apprehended but for what I have no clue.
I just found this link on the local news website http://www.ksat.com/news/13710192/detail.html with the story.

On a side note, we are signing the paperwork on our house tonight to be leased. John called housing at McConnell and there is no wait so we should be able to get on base no problem. Hopefully the housing is decent.
