As I walked around the house, something hit me square in the behind and nearly knocked me down. I turned quickly, weapon in hand, to discover a herd of goats following me. I almost had cabrito for breakfast. Anyway, when dispatch contacted the complainant, they said they saw a strange car at the house when they drove by at 1600 hours that afternoon. They just forgot to call it in until 0300 hours. Sometimes dispatch doesn't ask enough questions.
Been there done that, almost shot a bunch of pigeons who had roosted in the front alcove of an elementary school that had a broken window, The pigeons all decided to take of just as we made our way into the building. Turned out the window had been broken for about a week, but the night janitor had just seen it when he pulled in.
