Samantha was walking home from work one day
last month, when she saw a man who was trying to break into a car. She asked
him what he was doing and he told her to, “Get lost!” She ran to a nearby shop
and asked the owner to call the police, then he did immediately. When she went
outside again she saw that both the thief and the car had gone.
About ten minutes later, a police car stopped
outside the shop. A policewoman got out and asked Samantha some questions about
the incident. She asked her to give a description of the car and the thief.
Samantha said that the car was a dark blue Ford Focus with the registration number
TR03 RMN8. She said that it had a large scratch on the right hand side. She
described the man as tall with short dark hair. She said that he was slim,
looked about twenty-five years old and was wearing a blue denim jacket and
black jeans.
The policewoman wrote down everything in a
notebook. Samantha felt a little shaken but was glad to be able to help. A few
days later she found out that the thief had been caught in Newcastle and that
the car had been returned to its owner, undamaged.
