(no subject)
I know I ought to claim that I do the following because I am a Sociologist, thing is I don't think any of you would buy it, so I am going to just admit I do the following because I am just a little stranger than strange at times. I enjoy reading police crime logs.
Now the following is an excerpt from a police log in one area of the U.S. coming up to Christmas. I admit there were other crimes reported that I have not posted - none of which involved me btw ;) - but for me these were certainly the highlights and these actually made up 75% of the report.
No wonder they call it the silly season!
Friday, December 21
2:00 p.m.: A resident walking into the station was upset that the Post Office was not flying the United States flag at half staff as directed by the President. The resident wanted her complaint logged.
5:07 p.m.: On Gordon Road, a homeowner reported that someone entered his property today and took his American flag off the front of his house. He claims this was not from the wind as the entire pole is gone as well.
11:49 p.m.: At The Great American Tavern on Main Street, an employee called to report a patron in the parking lot threatening to shoot people and blow up the restaurant. Police were unable to locate the person.
Saturday, December 22
1:28 p.m.: A walk in to the station reported that there is a vulgar lawn decoration on Park Street with Santa urinating that he wished to be removed. The owner was contacted and agreed without issue to take the item down this afternoon. This is the second time in two years this has happened.
Monday, December 24
7:36 p.m.: A lot of noise in the background was heard before a 911 hang up. On call back, police spoke with a male party who stated they were having a small New Year’s party. He was reminded that it was Christmas Eve.
12:01 p.m.: Police received a call from a woman who said that while buying brake pads at Auto Zone, an employee offered to install them for her. She reported that Hyannis Police called her and stated that her vehicle was abandoned on the beach and had to be towed before the tide took it away.
