It all started with a backpack and a nervous look.
A young teen was walking home, arms full of itemsāsnacks, a game controller, and a small wrapped box.
Officer Harris slowed down her patrol car.
Something didnāt feel right.
She stepped out.
āHey! Whereād you get all that?ā she asked.
The boy froze. Then stuttered, āTheyāre mineā¦ā
She wasnāt convinced.
As she reached for her radio, the boy bolted.
A chase broke out in the middle of the neighborhoodā
Backyards, fences, barking dogs.
But what he left behind in the street⦠revealed everything.
A receipt, a note, and the truth about what he was really doing with those things.
And it left Officer Harris absolutely speechless.
