I must make the observation that the Tulsa police are the most disappointing aspect of our experience with this smash and grab.
They essentially said; If you're not laying in the street bleeding, we're not coming to take witness statements! I will follow up on this with them and their superiors, but the motel manager said this is standard operating of the Tulsa PD. In my opinion the PD is telling the thugs that go ahead and smash and grab, you can do this with no fear of being caught and we think this makes Tulsa a better place.
Once the car was fixed , we drove to the Memorial site at Oklahoma city. (see MA's commentary and pics below) after which the sun was setting and we needed a place to crash. As it turned out we couldn't find anything on the outskirts of Oklahoma City so we cruised to Weatherford where we are now. It was therapeutic driving into the sunset shadowing a semi at 80 - 85 mph. It felt right to be cruising with the negativity behind us and headed to more great adventures!

To put in perspective, when I was growing up, if you REALLY wanted an officer to show, you had to say "shots fired" as nothing else would bring the police. One more example of cuts to the wrong areas of budgets. SIGH!
