To: Officer Colin
Police Vehicle: 963
Thank you!
Today in America, we are quick to point out the bad a few cops may do but rarely report the good most of them do with the same haste. Today I wish to report the kindness of Office Colin, driving vehicle 963. Thank you offer for your service and thank you most of all for taking the time to help an egg-head cheapskate, who ran out of gas trying to get points on a fuel card.
In my infinite wisdom to use a gas card for points, I ignored the ‘Fuel Warning’ in my SUV, passing two service stations just to get these points at another brand service station. Well, I shouldn’t have been surprised when my vehicle stopped, and I had to pull over. Officer Colin luckily was in the area, saw me and came to see what he could do to help me, and he did.
It was 02/09/19, 6:30pm and 5°F outside with the inside of my SUV quickly beginning to feel like the outside. Officer Colin asked what was going on and if he could help, then made me aware that he had a gas can in his vehicle I could use if someone was coming to get me…and to my surprise there was just enough fuel remaining in his gas can, to get me to the service station only a mile away.
As if he hadn’t done enough Officer Colin followed me to the service station just in case it wasn’t enough fuel to get me there. Thank you so much Sir. Your Captain and station have a really great officer in you and the Apple Valley community will benefit having you serve us.
Moral of the story: This is not the time of the year to be stupid and cheap. Lol
Being frugal may cost you more in the long run so apply common sense first. In this cold weather don’t take unnecessary risk. I was lucky Officer Colin happened to be there and amazingly had a gas can with enough fuel in it to reach a service station.
