Daily Wrap-Up - An... Odd Day

First a bit of background. My commencement activities were held yesterday, and the foreign exchange student we're hosting was graduating. As a result, her dad is in town, so today we wanted to give him a brief tour of the city. One of the stops we made was Finlay Park, which holds a great view of the Columbia skyline, depicted in my Photo of the Week from last week. As we were walking to the fountain, we saw a man open a car door, retrieve a bag of some sort, and walk off, as the car alarm continued to go off. He continued to walk off without so much as looking back, a suspicious sign to say the least. My dad and I had remembered seeing a police car at the top of a hill, so he ran to report the now-suspected crime. The man has caught and apprehended. Because the police had a eyewitness account, the theft was categorized as a felony, auto theft, rather than a misdemeanor. It was an... interesting experience.
