    At 97 you are entitled to a little extra help finding the remote now and then...

    Good Police work.

    Hey. How often has he got to see the Brewers in the playoffs? I'd say that was a legit emergency.

    Hey, he's 97! Glad he's still able to live in his own place, and that he cares about something so much. Good for the police for helping him out. Nice break from the usual garbage they have to deal with.

    Greenfield police used excellent judgement but why does it take the milwaukee police department 4 hours to respond to a home when a woman reported that there were intruders in her house

    Are the police counting this as a solved case? Could also qualify as a story line from one of the Crime Scene shows.
