Washington University Police Department

I know what you’re thinking, Abby S got caught picking up underage dudes at Wash U again. What a Cougar!
Truth is, I’m not a cougar, I’m still a puma… and no, I don’t get my kicks on the weekend by picking up young boys. I, too, was once in college and can remember what dating those young in’s was like. No thanks!
My car was hit while parked at Kemper Art Museum. I had left it there overnight and came back the next day to pick it up — and there was a police department business card on my windshield. So I gave the number a call on Monday morning.
I was not happy to be dealing with campus police. When I was in college, this was the worst group of people to have to deal with! And yes, I did get in trouble with the law a few times in college. Officer Paul O’Donnell was the person I’ve been dealing with for the most part. He was nice, efficient and I think the report has been properly filed. Just waiting for a copy so we can get the insurance claim filed.
It was very nice of the person who hit my car to call an officer and report the situation. I’m still not exactly sure what happened, but feel pretty damn lucky that an honest person hit my car (vs. some jerk who would just pull away and pretend that nothing happened).
I do need to stop by and get the report, but so far my experience with this campus department has been pleasant. Will keep you posted if that changes!
