Back In The Day

When I was living in Stockton, I was going home from the post office and saw a family out in the field by the freeway stealing watermelons. I had just read in the paper that very morning that people walking into the fields and stealing produce was a real issue. So, I got home and called the sheriff's office with a description and a license plate. They actually responded and went to the guy's house. He admitted stealing the melons from the field but the farm owner didn't want to press charges. I found this all out because the deputy called me back with the resolution.
