Several years ago someone threw a rock through the windshield of our Jeep as my wife was driving home at night. She kept moving and came home. We called 911 to report the incident. Since it happened inside the city limits we were told we could either meet an officer at the scene, or a nearby location to get the info. Since we live in the county, they would not send an officer to my home.

I told the 911 operator I'd meet an officer at a grocery store about a block from the location, but as I got close I saw quite a few partrol cars and other cars at the place where my wife said it happened. They had a 9 year old kid they were questioning, along with 4-5 other cars with broken windshields. got a police report and filed an insurance cliam.
