Lunch Hour between 11:45 and 12:30 on March 31, 2014
I was in my car sitting in the parking lot of Hobby Lobby on Monrovia. This is one of my usual habits when I go to lunch alone, which is much of the time. I have my lunch in peace and listen to Rush Limbaugh. As I am sitting in the car, I notice the following…
A guy in a blue shirt ran by and then he checked out a van and put his bag and a laptop behind the driver’s side back wheel. Blue shirt ran into Hobby Lobby and ran back out. Blue shirt was followed by striped shirt. Striped shirt walked past the van and waved Blue shirt to follow. But Blue shirt opened the door of the van and put his bag and laptop into the back see on the passenger’s side. Striped shirt kept walking through the car dealership’s parking lot.
Along comes Purple shirt, a guy in a red truck that had been watching for Blue shirt. Purple shirt drives over near the van, jumps out, slams the van’s back passenger door open and breaks the back passenger’s window. Purple shirt grabs laptop jumps in red truck and speeds off. Blue shirt looked a little bit bewildered.
Blue shirt fumbles with the van trying to shut the passenger’s door. He couldn’t shut the door. He got into the driver’s seat and took off with the door wide open.
I’m sure this was some sort of crime, but I couldn’t get my phone into camera mode in time to take photos. Two other people saw a little bit of what happened too, but we were not really sure what to do since both vehicles took off and no one called the police.
