I witnessed a vehicle smash into a store. The driver of the vehicle saw me and drove off. So I called 911. Many, many years ago.

When the cop showed up, he asked me if I did it. I replied, ‘Do you think I would actually hang around for you guys to show up for 10 minutes if I was the guy? I said, no, I’m am the guy who CALLED you guys’.

Good gosh.

A week or two later I visited the store. Didn’t even get a ‘thank you’ for saving their merchandise. Ingrates. Well, they’ve been out of business a long time now.

Amazing world we live in.

Another note, I actually had someone else phone in the 911 call. No doubt they weren’t clear. This was before cell phones were in significant use.

That is a remarkable story about the car crashing into the store.
The motorist was very likely completely drunk out of his gourd when he lost control and struck the building.
Good on you for similarly seeking to do the "right thing" and also getting a heaping dollop of mistrust and disrespect from responding police officers.

My. Are smashed through a store window o central while I was in the store. We couldn’t figure out how it happened because I was parked on a small hill, but sideways. The cop came and asked around if anybody saw anything, but didn’t give me a ticket because I wasn’t in the car. I just paid the store owner for the damage.
