Update!
Rumor has it, "the wanderer," may have actually been abducted by the real 'Talley-Band'.
Oh noooos. Look out!! Kids are climbing trees!!!! What is this world coming too? If we let that go on, soon they will be riding bicyles or playing soccer. If these dangerous outlaws cant stay at home playing video games and surfing the net like good little boys and girls then I guess its time to throw those hoodlums in prison.

This is why I drive a white car.
Also, it's not officially tally walking, no banana.
The citation noted (no parking after midnight for)illegal 'talley walking'.
"5:36 a.m.: Medics and police were called to an accident on MacArthur and Yosemite drives. At least two cars and a bicyclist were involved, and the cyclist, who was transported to a local hospital, had a broken leg."
Medics and police agreed that the other two remaining vehicles were much less severe and needed no apparent mentioning..?
"9:06 a.m.: Someone reported a homeless man sleeping at the back door of Century 21 M&M Associates, 912 W. 11th St."
That was no homeless man ... that was the owner!
"10:46 a.m.: A man on the 100 block of Portola Way said that his girlfriend forged his name and stole money from his bank account."
This goofball woke-up after 10 a.m. and still expected his wallet to be there?
"11:53 a.m.: A caller requested extra patrols in the area of the 4300 block of Famoso Lane because of a man who had been walking around in the past couple days. Police entered the info into the department’s beat management system."
Maybe he was lobbying for his own caucus?
Note disclaimer - I refer you back to article one.
"2:18 p.m.: A catalytic converter was stolen from a vehicle on the 400 block of Fischer Court."
It was immediately transported to San Joaquin County Hospital in French Camp in the hopes that this could substitute in the restoration of an
AMC Pacer.
"3:22 p.m.: Someone at Quik Stop, 1153 Lincoln Blvd., reported that the store received 10 counterfeit $20 bills."
Then subsequently the perps left to head off to Taco Bell were they presumedly ordered 400 tacos at 2 for .99 cents...or maybe some Lexus 24" rims..?
To go...
