Crime Stoppers


Sitting in my room I hear a repetive banging coming from outside. This for me is normal, I thought it would be kids taking out the bus stop or the phone box. This evening it was the latter. The banging started to annoy me so I stood to my window to see a lone man inside the phone box. This is already strange as no one needs to use phone boxes these days. Whilst watching him, I see him pull a large 'thing' from his rucksack (he was prepared!) and bang the money collector of the phone box. At 1st I praised his inciative, but then its not 1980 and this is a residential area.

After more banging, I spoke to my brother who was also not pleased at this young vagabond not making about £5 from the phonebox. I instantly thought about throwing eggs at the young fool. My brother was in full agreement. I went to the kitchen and collected 4 old eggs from the fridge and walked outside for a safe launch site. My brother was staying in to gauge reactions. My first vantage point allowed me to see him but I was balancing on a railing and the distance was too great. I wasted 2 eggs from this spot. I was running home when I got brave and decided to get as close as possible.

I ran around the front of my estate, this area was completely exposed and the shots had to be good. I kept close to the building, staying low millitary style and kept my eye on the prize. As I got to a close but safe distance, I unleashed my volley of eggs. The first making direct contact with the phone box and the second just short. The second egg covered the assailants legs in 1 month old eggs! By this time I was running back to my flat to get the feedback from my mum and brother who were watching.

We all stood in the front room watching the worlds worst criminal walk away rubbing down his legs which had a nice covering of egg on them!
