Well, not long ago we caught a guy helping himself to a friend's sound system in a parking lot. We tackled the guy and held him while calling the police (informing them that we were holding the guy). An hour and half and second call later we were tired and the guy was frustrated and we wound up letting him go. When the police arrived "they" were irritated that we didn't hold the guy longer. It was like, "Yeah? Well? Did you think to bring US any doughnuts?"
