Freeze!! Police!!

Sheri had some problems finding the house that she was scheduled to set up a few nights ago. This house is on a court in a quiet little neighborhood. First she circled the court a few times trying to determine which house it was. Then she called me to see if I could help her out using Google Maps street view. That didn't work out to well so she decided to call the customer to get some more information.....like any vehicles in the driveway or distinguishing things about the yard or house.

The customer was able to give her some help. To make sure she had the correct house she went right up to the front of the house to double check the address (that was not lit up). Since it was the right place she started setting everything up. When she had just a few more critters to put in the ground a police officer shows up.

The police officer lit her up with the spot light and had the red and blue lights going. Fortunately Sheri did not park right in front of the home she was setting up. Sheri gave the officer a business card, showed her the order for the display and asked the officer if they could go around the corner to do this so that the recipient doesn't see what is going on (and ruin the surprise).

After taking her license the officer agreed to go around the corner with Sheri. Once they were there, Sheri explained what had happened and told the officer that she was almost done. The police officer checked her license and let her get on with the display. During the time that Sheri was on the side of the road 2 more police cars drove by. It must have been a quiet night in town. LOL
