Recently my husband's debit card was used far, far away, and I mean far away in another state. Problem was he still had his card on him and doesn't use it online. We had been at a certain discount store (which I won't name) that afternoon. The following day his "card #" was used in this other state at the same discount store. I called the store we had gone to and spoke to the manager. He was surprised as several other customers had had the same exact thing happen to them. He said I bet it is one of our employees selling numbers from the debit cards. He had them on video. I went to the PD and told them all this. You know the response I got, "Well, just don't go to that store anymore".
I think LE gets so many tips they are completely overwhelmed and yes that piece to the puzzle may be in a stack somewhere just like when Sarah Townsend's body was in the very pond they had searched earlier.
WoW plumeria that is scary, sad, and frustrating all at once.. But even sadder I must admit I am not shocked and I, too have just experienced something along this same vein. It just happened yesterday..
I was at the tanning bed( and yes I know many think to get in a tanning booth is no different than getting in a giant, supersized microwave..lol.. But there is one time of year that I go and that's before vacation.. So I don't fry while at the beach and then be miserable on vacation..lol.. So to me its worth it..)
I've tanned at the same locale since college just a little salon couple miles from our house..so I know the owner quite well an they are great people and run an excellent establishment.. Yesterday while I was actually in the tanning bed, my iPod on w/earbuds in drifting off for my little 20 min powernap(honestly that's what I look forward to the most is the nap..lol).. I was startled awake to screaming and doors slamming, I was up and outta that bed in no time flat, but couldn't immediately go out to see what was going on due to the fact I was not dressed.. So I yelled to the owner was everything ok.. Her answer no she was calling 911..that had me throwing clothes on and out the door to see whAt happened. I was sickened to find out what had taken place..
One of their long long time customers who tanned periodically, is well known highly respectable guy in our community with a long term job at one of the major phone carriers in the tri-state area.. He had came into to tan and once she'd put him in his designated room for him to tan.. Well instead of doing any tanning this guy had a whole other agenda in mind...peeping over the walls at ladies undressing, nude, getting in/out of tanning bed, and undress and redress.. Absolutely un-freakin-believable!!
The owners husband just happened to stop by at that very moment and he just happened to walk to a certain spot in the salon where In his direct line of view was this man's torso up was pulled up with him getting a full view down into the room adjacent to his(all of course with her having no knowledge This man is there and watching her..)..:shivers down spine:
The husband says nothing but rather sprints to the door of the man's room and he literally kicked in the door off it's hinges..thus of course startled the sicko who had an entire obstacle course built of chairs, boxes, etc literally stacked onto the not so sturdy top to the tanning bed.. He went down to the ground and there was a very brief struggle btwn he and the hubby and he wrangled himself free and made a run for it.. In his company vehicle and high tailing it outta the lot before police arrive from the wife's call she'd already made..
When LE got there she had the man's entire info(including contact #/home address/work address)pulled up and printed off ready to hand over to LE so they'd know exactly where to go arrest him once she and hubby filled out police report and wanting to have charges filed..
Well.. Much like the response that you all got over the stolen debit card purchases was the disgusting reality of what we learned next..
First LE stated there was no actual charge that they could use to arrest him with and then refused even to take the printed off info she had with the perp's address/phone numbers.. Saying there was no reason for them to have or see the info.. What?? I mean really what the hell??
And then lastly the biggest kicker of all she said that if this person was stupid enough to come back and attempt to tan there that they would meet him at the door informing he is no longer allowed on the premises or parking area of the salon and if he did not leave immediately or if he attempted to come back at another time that they will slap charges on his azz for trespassing..
The next words that came from the officer's mouth were the biggest shock of all..he informed her that she could not and would not be doing anything of the sort( what I just detailed above about his being banned from the premises).. That she by law could not do anything nor even say anything to this perp and that by law he could still frequent her establishment!!!! And that if she chose to do so anyway and disregard LE warning to not ban, threaten or anything else that would be inflammatory in nature toward this man that she could be the one ended up with charges filed on her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And with that LE was on it's way out and on to the next call..
Truly despicable if you ask me!!! And I am outraged by this. As I said just happened less than 24 hours ago so I've yet to have been able to research a little and find out if what LE has stated is actually true and that theres nothing that can be done to the perp.. His rights are the ones take into consideration.. To hell with the violated victim in this case that he was leering over a wall to watch as she undressed/ redressed.. These perp's have all the rights and the victims are just revictimized by the way the system is run..
IT IS AN OUTRAGE!!!!!!!!
