Last Minute Shopping and Calling 911

We are in Grand Junction, Colorado with my family this week for Christmas. It is so perfect. It has been snowing a little bit. The tree is beautiful. We are eating lots of treats. We even did some last minute shopping today. All of these add to the festiveness (pretty sure I just made that word up) of the season! Except when we had to call 911 today....Dan, Erin, and I ran to the local Target here which is part of the mall. We got we we needed in Target, stopped in two other stores in the mall, and then headed back to Target to go out to our car. While entering back into Target from the mall two guys were practically running with carts FULL out of Target, setting off the beepers, into the mall section and out towards a random side exit door. Several people around us thought this was suspicious as well and said, "Did they just steal all that?" We were pretty sure they did as well so found the first Target employee at a checkout line and told him. He surprisingly didn't seem to care or react quickly in any way so we exited through the Target doors outside and saw the two guys unloading their two carts very quickly into a car strategically parked right by the random exit door they ran out. I decided I was going to get the plate number and quickly walked towards the car. I got it and as they car sped away almost causing an accident I yelled to Dan to call 911 with the number. So he did and it turns out the police knew exactly whose car it was and that it belonged to a woman who had done this sort of thing before. This wasn't exactly what we expected while doing a little holiday shopping in Grand Junction but I have to admit I kind of liked feeling like Nancy Drew. Watch out holiday shoplifters!
