In fact, here's a story for you (happened last weekend).
I was sitting in my back yard drinking with a friend when I got a call from a private number.
Stupidly I answered.
It was my works security company letting me know the alarm had not been set.
I decided to do the right thing and go to work and set the alarm.
I put on my skateboard safety gear (helmet, elbow pads, knee pads) on and long boarded from Mt Lawley to Northbridge (2.3km, and 40kph+ at spots.).
I got to work and couldn’t get in the gate because I had left my remote in my car at home.
I decided to climb the fence as I was drunk and making stupid decisions.
Now, to paint a picture, I was wearing nice pants and a button up shirt, with Helmet, knee pads, elbow pads and slide gloves straddling a barbed wire fence to a private car park in Perth’s main nightclub suburb. I also had my long board hanging on the fence next to me.
There I was when two people pulled up in their car right next to me, got out really pissed of and started yelling at me to get down.
I asked them to calm down as I had a logical explanation.
As it turned out they were Detectives and thought I was robbing the place.
After a brief conversation they exclaimed
"You’re either telling the truth; or the most confident burglar I’ve ever met"
They then teased me for a while about booking me for drink driving a skateboard.
I then climbed the fence and checked the place was properly locked up before going home.
I do however now have a new year’s resolution:
"I shall never answer private numbers on my mobile out of business hours".

Just a reminder:
The cops are our friends.
When you see them, stop, say g-day and make a friend.
Same goes for security guards.
If they know, like and trust you; you'll be surprised what they fail to see :).
It is the cops stopping the motorists from behaving like tools (drink driving etc, etc) and subsequently hitting us. On top of that, they will be first on the scene to mop us up off the road should a motorist hit us, or we hit a lamp pole, etc, etc. Best that person doesn't already have it out for you!
I always go out of my way to say hello, have a chat and find out what sort of a day they have had. In turn they go out of their way to tell me to continue having fun and never ever harass me.
