Blotter gems

I haven't had space for the noteworthy Police Blotter items, for awhile. The cry from the masses has been, well, restrained. But, no worries, here are some entries from the last few weeks, anyway:

"A 1:33 p.m. caller from the 11500 block of Bitney Springs Road said a subject stole her trash can overnight, replaced it and left two rubber gloves on the lid." [seems like a win/win, to me]

"7:41 p.m.--A caller from the 100 block of Ramon court reported feeling he was 'under siege' because his garage door wasn't opening. He told the dispatcher he would use the front door that evening." [common siege tactic, garage-door tampering]

"At 11:07 p.m., a caller from the 300 block of Horizon Circle reported locking herself out of her bedroom. Officers advised her to contact a locksmith." ["I'm calling to report that I'm a doofus"]

"5:50 p.m.--A woman called 911 from the 14000 block of Lodgepole Drive to report she was upset because she wasn't getting any reception on her television. A dispatcher advised the woman to contact the cable company directly." [but cable companies are so unresponsive...]

"10:35 a.m.--A woman called 911 from the 14000 of Lodgepole Drive to ask what the date was. A dispatcher provided the information to the caller." [hmm, compare the address with the last one...]

""At 10 p.m., a caller from the 200 block of Bank Street reported he almost hit a naked, middle-aged man who was standing in the driveway and brushing his teeth when the caller pulled in." [obviously, caller doesn't take good dental hygiene seriously]

""7:39 p.m.--A woman from the 14000 block of Indian Springs Road reported that she heard a moaning sound outsider her house when she returned home. She couldn't find her husband and was checking to see where he was. She believed someone had hurt him. But she found her husband was playing a joke with her." [hilarious]

""At 2:52 p.m., a caller in the Cypress Hill Area reported a suspicious, heavyset man with an earring driving a green pickup with a white camper pulling into driveways in an attempt to sell meat." [not THAT GUY, again! When's he gonna learn to avoid the vegetarian neighborhoods?]

"At 8:04 p.m., a caller from the 10000 block of John Barleycorn Road reported an assault." [just liked the name "John Barleycorn road"]

That's it, for today...
