"7:45 a.m.: A central air conditioning unit was stolen from Prosperity Real Estate, 37 W. Eighth St."
Amidst the confusion, the irony police were notified as well.
"A possible sexual assault? If it sent her to the hospital I'd call it a real assault.
3:02 p.m.: A 77-year-old woman told personnel at a local hospital that she was the victim of a possible sexual assault."
She probably just couldnt remember whether or not she was sexually assaulted.
Since I am the owner of a red camaro that might have been me driving (had it been at a different hour). What was the caller complaining about? He/she would have preferred it if the car were speeding through the neighborhood? It seems like when you drive a red camaro at night you are damned if you speed and damned if you drive slow.
If I understood completely what you just said and you know that someone’s in an empty house right now, then call the police right now and tell them what you just told us as why you’re very concerned and asking them to send someone out to check. Good Luck.

Did they check his printer? Maybe he'll be kind enough to recycle them upon his next purchase?

A full moon makes a beautiful sight around high tide.
Perhaps the caller would feel more safe and normal if the car had been speeding and shooting at pedestrians. This is the new normal.
