It all started with a backpack and a nervous look.
A young teen was walking home, arms full of items—snacks, a game controller, and a small wrapped box.
Officer Harris slowed down her patrol car.
Something didn’t feel right.
She stepped out.
“Hey! Where’d you get all that?” she asked.
The boy froze. Then stuttered, “They’re mine…”
She wasn’t convinced.
As she reached for her radio, the boy bolted.
A chase broke out in the middle of the neighborhood—
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.
