on the other hand , with the car parked a few blocks away , in the instance that ( having walked to the hardware store , procured the necessary equipment , loaded it onto my back and begun the long journey back to the car ) i saw , from a block away , a knot of suspicious looking individuals ( be they the cops , the neighbors , the dead guys family , whoever ) hanging around the car in wait for the thief , you can bet i wouldnt just turn myself in , no sir .
