O/T Police Report..........

The Police Report is the most interesting reading in my local weekly newspaper.

An item from today's edition:

January 17. Caller stated adult male was seen leaving the Sparetime Lounge and is now sleeping on a bench near the Youth Center. Responding officer gave intoxicated subject a ride home.

My favorite was a couple of months ago:

Female caller from Heartland Parks Retirement Home complained that someone had stolen all three of her cars. Police determined caller does not own any cars.

Gotta admit, I was General Manager of that rag for several years about 40 years ago.
 
Two months ago a class mate of mine was in the police blotter. He started drinking again so his wife left him and filed for divorce.

He was away from home a short time and she got in to get her stuff. When he got back home he noticed her stuff was gone and called the police saying he was robbed. Well come to find out it was still her place too, so he got charged with filing a false burglary.

It had me confused because I never heard of that until I ran into his wife at the post office a month or so after all this took place and explained what happened.
 
Lesson learned - next time you see something you think is wrong keep your mouth closed...oh wait - then they can charge you with failure to rpeort a robbery.
 
My favorites, saved from the local paper:

"At Dixon"s Garage, Dudley Borough, the suspects kicked in the front door. Once inside they ate an apple dumpling and a 2000 Silver Chrysler Cirrus bearing PA Registration HDE8125."

"...according to Brandon Synder of Sandy Run Road, Hopewell, his residence was broken into and a bowl of macaroni and cheese was removed."

"Someone broke into a residence on Newtown Road, Riddlesburg by prying open the back door. The suspect(s) apparently slept in a bed and used the bathroom, but did not flush the toilet."
 
Radio staion here the mornign show does "small town crime wave" reading the local blotters on Mondays, and then does a nation wide one on fridays. Always seems to be a few areas have a little more crazy than others.... And almost always amusing as heck.

My MIL and FIL took a trip once for a couple weeks. When they got home MIL law calls frantic, "Someone broke into our house!" Me, being the intelligent and astute cop I was asked, "What did they take, was there much damage?" MIL sez, "No damage , the door was still locked, they took the light bulb out of the kitchen ceiling fixture!" I sez, "Uh, Nana, tht just doesn't sound right to me." Nana gets mad, hangs up.

2 days later she calls and tells me she found the lightbulb in another fixture.

Oh, so the burglars MOVED the light bulb? :lol: good story.

I love the "Crime Watch" column that is in the free local paper that we get once a week that has mostly advertising, 2-3 "articles". It's amazing how many stupid, criminal people there are within a few minutes of my house.

Uh no. He reported the robbery to be vindictive. There is no way he's dumb enough to think that a legitimate robber would just take HER stuff.
 
A nearby town has a warehouse that stocks beer and the snacks that they sell at bars. I remember a police report several years ago where there was a break-in and the only thing stolen was several cases of beer and several cardboard boxes of beef jerky.
In another area town has a small factory that makes the round pies that they sell in the grocery stores that you buy and put in your oven at home. There was a break-in there where several pies were stolen.
People risk spending time in prison to steal beer, beef jerky and peach pies?
