The Rampant Crime In My Community

Another summer rerun while it's still yet summer-- the lighter side of the news because the heavier side nowadays becomes way too sad. From September 2006.

These are from a local newspaper's Police Blotter section, a sort of collection of the lighter side of crime in our area. Tom and I had to laugh, and yet we both wished this was the only side of crime around here... or anywhere.

A _____ Blvd. resident complained that there were 10 teenagers hanging from tree branches near the playground and wanted them removed before the trees were damaged.

Suspicious people with a vehicle were reported on ____ Road. A man and a woman were in the vehicle taking videos of passing cars with a video recorder. They then removed items from the trunk and went into the park, the complainant said. Police learned they were aspiring artists making a home video.

A ____Lane resident was suspicious of a man wearing a hard hat and walking around in the backyard with a ladder. Police reported that he was a Time Warner Cable repairman.

A _____ Drive resident complained that his son's ex-girlfriend took out a lot of library books under his daughter's name and was refusing to take them back.

A person reported missing from a facility on ____ Road was never missing but in a different bed.

A _____ Ct. resident reported an unknown man was on the side of the house. It was her neighbor who was inspecting his siding.

Four adults on bikes collided on _____ Road. Injuries to all were reported.


On _____ Drive, a resident reported someone took the hose from his pool and replaced it with another one that wasn't as long.
