When we got back to Hogar de Fe Brad and Saul left for the police station in San Manuel. Before they could get to the police station they passed the police in their truck headed toward El Porvenir (the opposite direction of San Manuel). Brad and Saul turned around and caught up with the police in El Porvenir. Saul told them what was going on and that we had the names of the guys we thought had stolen the doors. The police said they would follow us. Huh??? Follow us? Aren't they suppose to take it from here? This was just the beginning.
Brad and Saul take the lead with the police following behind in their vehicle and they all head toward a community in the back of El Porvenir. You have to go up a fairly steep, but short, hill to reach the community. We stop just before the hill and Saul goes back to tell them we don't know where the guys live just the names and general area. No problem the police say. Next thing Brad knows Saul has returned to the truck and two of the police are getting in the back of the truck with their automatic weapons. The police vehicle is not four-wheel drive and they don't think it will make it up the hill. So, they want us to take them. What? Aren't they suppose to take it from here??? Oh, wait, already thought that and was wrong.
We drive around the community and ask a few people if they know these guys. Finally someone says they think they live back down where we came from. So, we head back down from whence we came. But, the police stay in our truck and don't get back in their vehicle. Have we been sworn in as police???? Did we miss something????
We stop and ask some more people and they give a little more precise info about where these guys might live. The police tell Brad to drive and they and Saul give directions. We turn on to a road, drive a short distance and Saul says stop here. Brad stops, the police jump out the back doors with weapons drawn, and run into a house. Brad's not really liking this. Once again, aren't the police suppose to take it from here???
In a few minutes the police come around the side of the house. Jump in the back seat and tell us to drive and give directions. Great, we are now chasing the criminals with the police in our backseat. Where is the police vehicle??? After a few more turns the police jump out again with weapons drawn and begin running after the criminals. One is running and the other is waving us to follow them more closely. Guess we're in this for the long haul.
Eventually the two police officers disappear into a side street. After about 15 minutes and no sight of anybody we decide to leave. As we're leaving we pass by the original house the police ran into and there are the police standing in front of the house. How did they get there??? They are waiting until the two guys return to their house.
Brad and Saul figure the police can handle it from here and leave because they have somewhere else they need to be.
