Did the captain call the cops, or did he do the right thing?

Hi Doug: The alarm goes directly to the Security Company. They called
the
cops. The patrol car was only 4 minutes away and arrived and caught the
kids on board the boat with a canvas bag almost full of stolen goodies.

The kids spent some jail time as this was on a Friday night and court
opens
on Monday at 10:00 A. M.

This is in Canada and our cops are damn good. They scared the sh*t out of
those kids.

We could use some cops like that. Two weeks ago, I walked into the mens room
of my office building and found two half-burned rolls of toilet paper on top
of the toilet tank, and the hallway fire extinguisher, which had been used
to extinguish the mess. We have 4 psychologists on my floor, 3 of whom treat
children, so my first guess was that someone's kid got stupid and the parent
ran in & put out the fire. Cops came, but no results.

Last week, the same thing happened again. This time, I called the cops,
rather than let the building manager do it. I told them this was attempted
murder, not just arson, that I was in no friggin' mood for this crap, and
that they had 10 minutes to arrive and start interrupting therapy sessions,
before I did it for them. They did exactly that. But, when one of the cops
stopped by my office to explain the results, he said they weren't in any
position to pry into the doctor-patient privacy nonsense, even when a felony
has been committed. Sounds like nonsense to me. I called the town justice
for clarification. No response yet.
