Wednesday I was down at 821, and the police where there. The whole 800 block was blocked off: two cars on the east end and one on the west, just beyond 821. Except for the officers, there ware no people on the street at all.
I wanted to see if there was some problem at 821, a break-in perhaps. So I took the alley on foot to take a look at the back side. When I got there an officer came around the corner and yelled at me, "Hey Boss, What you doing back here."
"I'm planning to buy this house," I replied, keeping my voice down so that not everyone could hear. I worry about staking my claim verbally, they making someone upset, they having them vandalize the place before I even have a chance to move in.
The cop yelled back something in a tone of warning, but I do not know that he said.
Looking back, police presence could be a sign of getting criminal element out of that street, or it could be buisness as usual. Someone seeing me might think I was back there because I was an undercover cop. And that could make me safer perhaps.
I don't know what it points toward.
