Memphis Mayhem... the aftermath

So, thought I'd summarize what happened after Nancy's assault in Memphis. The following day, we got a phonecall from the detective who was assigned to the case. We went over the story, and added what we could to the description of the culprit: Afro-American, medium build, about 5'10", light complexion, closely trimmed hair, clean-shaven, driving a 4 or 5 year old Chevrolet Impala, black or dark grey, license beginning with digits 714. They asked if we could ID on a line-up, and we said doubtful, as it all happened so quickly. Nancy said if you catch a guy with a pea-green "Paddy's Market" bag from Sydney, AU, with the beginnings of an Afghan in it, he's your man! 

We had gone over the contents of the motorhome, and amazingly, we found nothing else missing. Our computer, Garmin, camera, lenses, phones, Nook, etc were in plain sight. All we can figure is that our sudden slamming of the door freaked him out, and he fled. He damaged the slide cover for the screen door handle on his way out, and we're hoping he cut himself on it! We told the detective we'd be glad to look at a photo lineup, but didn't have much hope, and signed off. On to Florida.
