This time she got caught stealing from a local supermarket and we bailed her out again. I wasn’t surprised as we are notorious for re-bailing someone who has already proven a lack of concern for the judicial system. CT on the other hand is homeless and laws and court mean nothing to her. I don’t believe she set out to miss court, she probably has no idea she even had a court date. Her only concern is how she’s going to eat, where to sleep and where’s the next score’s coming from.

I’ve spoken to several other homeless people who have spotted her in Central Park and the local liquor stores. So, today I drive between the Goodwill Store, Starbuck’s and the park, nothing. Yesterday we walked the creek searching for homeless shelters and anyone that would help out. Sometimes we give them money but most of the time they have no problem ratting on each other.

So now I just sit and wait. Doing surveillance for too long can get pretty boring and I have been know to doze off if I sit too long and my attention span today is short today. If I get a solid lead then I have no problem sitting a waiting for hours, just to get eye on them; once. Just enough to let me know you are there.

CT’s bond is not that big so I’ll drive around looking for her until I get distracted and I’ll work one of my other 40 cases. More on CT later…
