At 130 pm today I called the Philadelphia police and asked to make a statement about the accident on the phone. They said they would send an officer to take the statement in person because the driver left the scene. I gave them the address of the 7-story half-block long building where I work. I waited until 430 pm. No one came to the door. There is a receptionist in the lobby till 415 pm.
Yesterday, I called 911 at the scene. They said three different times they were sending someone. On the third call, the operator said I was not there. I did not move from the front of Sovereign Bank at 11th and Market from the time I made the call until 40 minutes later when I left. I am six feet tall. I had a bike. The officer who responded said no one was their.
There is only one bank on that corner.
Tomorrow I am going to call at 845 am when I arrive at my office. That way there will be eight hours for the police to show up. I will let you know if thy could not find the building.
