Confirming the info

Last week a neighbor told me that a rape had taken place just a few minutes before I drove past a swimming pool about 2 blocks from my house. I had no way to confirm this so I waited to read about it in the newspaper. I finally found the article today and it turned out that a woman was assaulted while jogging about 1/2 mile from my house and was able to fight off the guy and run away. The attacker was later caught. So the facts were a little different than the neighbor had gotten them. Maybe he listens to a police scanner, otherwise I have no idea how he would have known about it.
