A couple of times I've walked by a man using a coat hanger to get inside a locked car. This was during the day and each man was plump and middle-aged. I didn't call the cops, since my prejudice is that people who break into cars do it at night and are young and skinny.
It's hard to make that judgment call about when to dial 911. When I hear a high-pitched scream, I have to decide whether it's kids playing or somebody in trouble. I do, however, always call 911 when men are screaming or fighting, even if they are plump and middle aged.
I'm just a bundle of prejudices! I should go to CAPS myself.
