911, what’s your emergency?” “Hi, um, my name is Patrick, and I want to report a theft,” Patrick replied, his voice tinged with urgency. “What was stolen?” the officer on the line asked, her tone professional but concerned.
“It was a package that was delivered to my house today. I saw it all happen through our doorbell cam,” Patrick explained, his words rushing out as if the urgency of the situation demanded it. “Can you describe the package?” the officer inquired, keen to gather as much detail as possible.
Patrick took a deep breath, trying to steady his thoughts. Patrick described the package as a medium-sized brown box, marked with his name and address. He added, “It was meant to be a birthday present for my child.” It was left on my porch around noon.”
