So, sitting in the basement, it was myself, my aunts, my parents, little brother, and my friend. During a particularly gruesome scene in "Drag Me to Hell," we heard two loud bangs. Someone just took out my mailbox! This has been happening for a few weeks, the 4th time to be exact. So, I look out the window, see him take out another mailbox.

I run to my car, keys in hand, and Rich (my friend, drives a red 2006 Cobalt SS), give chase. Doing 80 in a 25, im zipping through corners. I come to the end of the street, look left, and see them take out a traffic cone.

Screw that, I'm pissed.

I take off, back end going wild, and speed up. I get right on their bumper, with Rich in tow. Rich passes them on the straight to coax them down a bit. He swerves and almost takes him out. I pull up to the driver's door next time around, and he swerves into me. This guy really wants to get away! He misses me by not even a foot. He's determined to get out of the situation.

Possibly stolen? After all, it was just a few mailboxes and a traffic cone.

So, following him a little more down the road, the Crv tries to ditch Rich... into a dead end. I follow, and rich blocks off the road. He almost hits the front of Rich's car swerving, and I go around to continue the hot pursuit. He blows a red, and I follow. I just get connected to the State Police through 911, and I told the trooper:

"I'm in hot pursuit of a group of kids that just took out a bunch of mailboxes and traffic cones!"

"Umm, on foot?"

"No, I'm travelling on Walnut Street in Lynnfield, approaching Interstate 95."

"Do you have a description of the vehicle?"

"Green SUV, foreign, license plate xxx-xxx, green lettering."

"Are you still in pursuit?"

"Naturally."

"Hold on! Hold on!... Repeat the description... (repeat)... I'm going to connect you with Saugus/Lynnfield Police, make sure you report this to the department where the events occurred."

"Of course, officer. Thank you very much."

Basically, the Saugus officer (we followed them through Saugus) told me to break off and stop chasing him. I agreed, and drove back home.

The Wakefield officer arrived shortly at my place of residence (still live with my parents, I'm a senior in high school). I gave him what I could, he took some pictures, and told me "I'll keep you updated." Doubtful, even if the perps almost ran Rich and I off the road.

I was really putting the car to its paces, needing to cover a lot of ground to find this guy, and taking many corners at a high rate of speed. And my evasive maneuver was pretty demanding, from 60 to 25 miles per hour.

Firstly, has anyone ever done what I did? Second, do you think the cops will actually keep me informed (i.e. notify me if they catch them)?

P.S. I will only respond to useful comments. Flames will go unnoticed. Opinions are fine, insults are not.
