Police received a quick call from a woman who claimed to be in the midst of a fight with her husband. Before officers could get any of the domestic details, however, the call was disconnected. The woman tried back a few minutes later, but again the line was dropped. When police finally got back in touch with her, the woman hesitated—she didn’t want to give up her husband’s information because he had just returned from Iraq. But that didn’t totally temper her anger: He had, after all, pushed her into the pool and ruined her iPod.

It was the ultimate suburban nightmare: A man pulls into his driveway from some Sunday errands only to realize that he had been followed by an unknown car. While the resident stayed behind the wheel pondering what to do, the man giving pursuit decided to make things simple—he got out of his car and drew a gun. That made up the resident’s mind—he backed up into the gunman’s car and sped away, calling the police as he fled from his own home.
