THE EXTORTIONIST

D rew Dog! How you doin, Drew Dog? Hey, listen, I know what happened to your stuff, and I can get it back for you. Crime Stoppers offers a thousand dollars for information about a burglary. But if you give me a thousand bucks, Ill get your stuff back right away.

Wed been robbed. While our family was away, our Indiana home had been cleaned out. Now, just one week later, this guy was on our doorstep trying to extort money. On top of that, I knew him! He had come by a month ago asking to rake leaves in our yard, and we hired him. Apparently, hed taken that opportunity to scope out our place and strategize his entry through a rear window.

Welcome to life in downtown South Bend. Wed only been living there a few months. This was the latest in a series of indicators that maybe there was a reason our home had been so affordable.

Hang on just a minute, I told the guy. Ive got something I need to take care of in the kitchen. Ill be right back. I closed the door and headed to the kitchen to call the police. When I returned, I expected the guy to be gone.

He was still there.

I kept him talking. We chatted about, you know, the weather and sports. After several minutes, the police pulled up and hauled him away for questioning. We were sure wed never see him again.

Knock. Knock.

It had only been a couple of hours. I peered out the window to see who was on the front porch. Sure enough, it was him. I opened the door to a loud shout. Drew Dog, I went downtown for you! I got knocked around for you! You owe me, Drew Dog! You owe me!

In a weird way, I enjoyed the nickname. But I wasnt sure how to respond, so I fell back on what had worked in the past. Hang on just a minute. Ive got something in the kitchen I need to take care of. Ill be right back, I said.
