#APicADay 2019: Day 30, Prompt: Highlighted

While walking through the zoo this morning, I was looking for something I could use. I didn't find anything responsive to the prompt, but The pup and I had a good, though very cold, time with his grandmother.
So, instead I fell back to my backup plan.

Forest Grove Police Log excerpt, 30 October 2019

The selection from the log of local police activity for this week involves a man from a very long time ago.

Oct 21
A caller reported a man in a Darth Vader mask approached her while walking along Main Street and asked where the nearest bank was.  Police were unable to locate any Sith in the area, detected no unusual imbalances in the Force, and no imperial credits were reported missing from any financial institutions.

I am glad that the local police force is able to not take itself too seriously. I'm also somewhat concerned that a resident felt it necessary to contact police for being asked where the nearest bank was. I am sure there are plenty of innocent reasons to need a bank without needing a particular bank, Darth Vader mask notwithstanding.
