What a beautiful sunrise this morning. The sky was so pink it looked like it was on fire. I was lucky to be awake to be able to see it.
During the night at around 3.20 am T0ny had a phone call in relation to work. Apparently some guy had broken into the Bull and Bear Hotel and the police were there looking for him. The guy had jumped over the locked gate and got himself into the courtyard from which there was no exit.
The police wanted access into the courtyard so Tony was going to do it remotely, (dial in from home), but then they decided it best not to as the guy could do a runner once he knew the doors were opened. Instead, the police cut the lock that was attached to the gate with bolt cutters. The dog squad was called in and they located the guy, but rang Tony again to find out where he could end up as he was in behind a wall. They were quite happy when Tony told them that there was only one way in and he would have to come out the same way.
Tony then had to ring the owner of the hotel and also his immediate boss to let them know. As the Hotel is part of the complex that Tony manages he is the one they contact initially.
Just about back to sleep when the phone rang again. It was now 4.30 am and it was the police letting Tony know that they had caught the guy.
This is the second incident in a week. Even though the first incident didn't involve Tony directly he had to provide the CCTV footage for the police. Some guy had gotten into the courtyard by jumping over the locked gates, grabbed a chair from the Daily Planet's outside eating area and used it to smash a door on the State Bank building. He got inside the bank and when the police came they found him in the stairwell still with the chair. Luckily he could not get into the bank's offices.
Wonder what the next incident will be.....don't they say things come in threes?
