Wells Fargo ATM, Drywall anyone?

On Tuesday, October 16, there was an attempted robbery. A burglar had a goal to steal money from a Wells Fargo ATM, a little after midnight. But he did not have a “regular” plan like other criminals. Most criminals have a set plan; or at least have a back up team of something of the sorts. He did not just go right through the front door. He actually did something quite odd. He broke into the business next door, the Multicultural Center, which is off twenty sixth and O Street. After breaking into the building next door, he cut threw the drywall to get to the ATM. What kind of person does that? I mean who thinks of something like that? I think it is completely ridiculous. The officer that was assigned this case, Officer Kacky Finnell (yes that is his real name) said that they pried open the multicultural center’s front doors to get it. The burglar fled after an alarm sounded at around midnight. Thankfully, the burglar never got into the ATM. But he did, however, cause over five hundred dollars worth of damage. They may even have to restore the entire wall since the burglar had cut through the drywall. I wrote about this article because I thought it was extremely random. Plus I figured that no one else would probably write about this, let alone read it so I thought I would inform everyone of this humorous attempted crime. We were supposed to write about an issue relating to Lincoln, or at least Nebraska. This article is directly connected to Lincoln, as one of the issues-or at least I think so. For one, it happened downtown, which is where a lot of people walk around daily. Plus, it is near the campus of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, which is not comforting to me since I have friends that go there. And even though we all would like to think, or hope, that all the college students are asleep in their dorm rooms by midnight, a lot of them are still going around having fun. So this attempted crime makes me nervous. If this guy is so crazy to cut through drywall, what else is he capable of? It just makes me nervous, but let’s hope for the best.

My day trip home

I went back home today for one reason, at least I thought it was for just one reason-a doctor’s appointment. But that is not true. I got one of my best friends to come get me so we got to catch up and update each other about what has been going on in our daily lives-the good and the not so good. We took the “scenic” route back to Omaha, which consisted of going through all of Millard, a suburb of Omaha. Then we decided to surprise my dad and visit him at his work, Hy-Vee, since it is quite close to my friend’s dorm. That was when I ran into someone from high school- a blast from the past. It wasn’t the good kind; it was very awkward. Then, I had all these images flashing in my head of every time I had used to hang out with this person like how they do it in the movies; it was so weird! After that awkward encounter, we ventured on to our next plan where I had another déjà vu, you could say. It was kind of creepy, all of this just happening all at once. I am not sure how to explain it exactly. But after all that, my friend took me out to Village Inn, because she knows my love of pancakes! Then I got to go home and spend time with my puppy and my mom. I got a home cooked dinner, which my sister and her future husband came over for so I got to see them, too. It was really nice, until I realized I had to leave and come back to school. On the Brightside, however, I did get to drive my car back and crank my tunes which is one of my favorite hobbies that I have missed since going away to school, seriously-I wasn’t homesick the first few weeks, I was just “car” sick.
