Is that why Orchard Road was closed a few minutes ago - cause the police were looking for you?

?
Heh heh... that's funny now Steve, but a week ago it wasn't.
I got a call from a local town PD detective. I won't mention where, but he wanted me to
meet with him there regarding something, but wouldn't say what. Gulp!
I agreed to go but pressed him a little more about the context of the meeting so that I could come prepared to assist him as much as possible.
As it turns out, a farm site that we had permission to hunt was robbed of some items in an outer storage building. The property owner that gave me permission, who also had my business card and MDing card, apparently turned me in as a possible suspect!

I had to assure this detective that the meeting wasn't necessary due to the fact that as a father of 5,
grandfather of 2, business owner and person that spends thousands on the pleasure of digging up dirty pennies, I surely wouldn't throw that all away for some junk.

I gave him my DOB and middle name so he could check out my squeaky clean record and never heard back.
So as it's always best to get permission, it doesn't guarantee against any future hassles.
