A Crime Scene in Our Town

Today a very interesting thing happened. It's making our town look like it has to be removed. There are too many thieves here, including, my friend, P.

I was over on the side of my neighbor's house with P. and there are windows on the sides of their house and one of the screens was broken while the window was open. Their laptop was right next to the window. P. said, "Let's get that free laptop!" I backed out of it. He said I was small enough to crawl through, I still backed out of it. So, I went over to check on my chickens and see if there were eggs. I went back to P. but he was gone, with the laptop. I saw him running over to the cow field. Then, he ran back to his house.

About 20 minutes later, the little girl who lived in that apartment with the broken screen, and her uncle, were over at our house, looking for the laptop. They talked to my mom and me, and my mom said she didn't know anything about it. Except me, I knew everything. They asked me and I told them it was probably at P.'s house. We went over and got it. P. had it under the porch.

When I came over I even heard him say, "You came over to check out my new laptop?" and I said, "No." He said, "Well, I'm going to sell it." I took it out from under his porch and he asked, "What are you doing?" I said, "Taking it back. It's not yours and you know that. Stealing someone else's stuff and then selling it? Not cool." And then the little kids showed up with their uncle. P. went over to the little kids' house with his mom and apologized.
