In this episode of Courtney's World we find her peering out of her kitchen window to find someone pulling up to the apartment dumpster throwning a bunch of trash into our dumpster. Ever the good "Do-Bee," she writes down the license plate number and calles the police. Yea! Then she digs around in the newly-delivered trash to find the name and address of the offender. Yea!
The cops respond and take Courtney's statement and proceed to contact the offender who says she'd gladly retrieve her trash rather than get a "theft of services" ticket. However, somewhere along the way Courtney told the woman that was okay for her to leave it there. WHAT? The cops trot back to Courtney to verify and, sure enough, Courtney gave her permission to leave the trash. So, the official disposition of the Police case is "unfounded" and we/they won't prosecute because Courtney gave her consent to leave it.
So if you can figure this one out, call me! Why did she give permission for the woman to leave her trash and yet still call the cops AND give them a statement? On what planet does she have authority to tell someone that I'll pay to have their trash hauled off? Why...I could go on, but ...Why?
