So many blotter bits, so little time...
"8:12 p.m.--A caller from the Litton Trail between Hughes Road and Sierra College reported a suspicious fox. The fox reportedly "darted" onto the trail at the caller, then did it again 10 minutes later." [How's a person to appreciate nature with annoying foxes darting about?]
"2 a.m.--A woman from the 500 block of Silva Avenue reported hearing a "low" sound possibly coming from the ground that she hears only at night. She said an officer would have to come out and turn the car engine off and "calm down" to hear the noise, which she described as being similar to an earthquake sound. Officers were unable to hear the sound." [No kidding. One wonders if they stayed "calm"]
"9:50 p.m.--A caller from Hughes Road reported a driver doing "donuts". [Call me when they're doing "cinnamon rolls"]
"12:58 p.m.--A caller from a business in the 500 block of Sutton Way reported a tall, heavyset man pressing a "white machine" onto every vehicle, which then beeps." [Hard to say. Looking for studs? Feverish cars?]
"10:49 p.m.--A caller from the 300 block of Horizon Circle reported hearing what sounded like someone on the roof for an hour. It was found to be snow falling on the roof." [Seriously. Someone writes this stuff down?]
"6:07 p.m.--A caller from Highway 49 and Uren Street reported a woman "flapping around, trying to fly." She could not be located." [Did they look up?]
"1:15 p.m.--A caller from Jones Bar Road was reportedly having difficulty returning an uncooperative horse." [So, maybe you can't always lead a horse...]
"10:28 p.m.--A caller near the intersection of Gold Flat and New Mohawk Roads reported a fake cat in the roadway." [How would we manage without such observant citizens?]
"12:31 a.m.--A caller reported repeated calls from her ex-boyfriend. She did not know his last name." [Hard to imagine why that relationship didn't survive]
"10:16 a.m.--A man from the 15000 block of Goldcone Drive reported his neighbor accused him of stealing some "boat cans". ["Boat cans"? Sure it wasn't "tote fans" or "coat pans" or...?]
"A woman in the lobby of the Grass Valley Police Department Thursday afternoon was shopping at a thrift store when she put on a pair of handcuffs for which the store had no key. Officers got her out of the cuffs." [What was it like to walk from the store to the PD, one wonders...]
"9:05 p.m.--A woman from the 13000 block of Simple Justice Road reported her neighbors were shooting guns." [perhaps pursuing, uh, simple justice?]
"8:51 a.m.--A woman from Banner Lava Cap Road requested a welfare check on her mother. The mother said she was fine and her daughter was "dingier than heck" and heavily medicated." [Such family warmth...excuse me while I wipe a tear...]
"1:21 p.m.--A woman from a business in the 16000 block of Broken Oak Court reported a person was wandering around yelling that they are "giving up." [That's something you don't see every day--wait...]
"12:01 p.m.--A woman from a business in the 16000 block of Highway 49 reported her coworker was dangerous." [Hm. Isn't that the post off...?]
"9:02 p.m.--A caller from the 100 block of Mill Street stated that her stepmother egged her house." [Just another warm family tradition around here, no doubt.]
"9:27 p.m.--A woman from Bradford Drive reported several youths in her yard vandalizing "something, unsure of what." [She could just tell...]
"12:43 p.m.--A man from the 19000 block of Connie Drive reported neighborhood children whistling very loudly." [Darn kids! When they're not "vandalizing something (unsure of what)", they're, uh, whistling!]
That's it for now...Big anniversary for us tomorrow. Hint: it's divisible by 13.
