Anyway.., as I recall there used to be more contributors to the police log and would like to see some of the old names return...it's nice too be able to comment on 'each other's stuff' without being taken too seriously. However I do feel there is some sort of void we must (all) be filling during this particular time of modern analogus human oddities.
You've done well to hang-in-there so long, yoursel(s). Moreover, relating to you (two?) is a similar sensation I get when I'm speaking to a person with one crocked eye - I don't know to whom I'm actually addressing?
So my typical response is to ackwardly stare down at the ground while and shuffling my feet and mumbling like James Dean...
(*!*)
Firing on most of 6 & 1/2 cylinders...klv
*She was infatuated with the city's logo of, "Thinking Inside The Triangle?
*The prowler was really a prank pulled by drunken 'Tidy Bowl men' preceeding the convention?
*After regailing the police for hours about a similar story growing up in Orange County, Tracy PD suggested she visit Mental Health?
*Her husband would later call for an ambulance describing what looked like (her) "stuffing towels into the toilet of their master bedroom?"
Are you sure she's mentally ill TPD? Or could there be a man with a gun in the bushes? It could happen. "Dirty" Harry perhaps?
A minor of 14 years can't give consent, right FTUD?
The woman may want to consider having the band "practice" elsewhere!
Bad Bear. They should start calling him Lamb and see if his mood improves.
No reason? Apparently this is not a place to frequent if you are a card carrying member of the AARP.
15 minutes later and the perp left? Go figure.
It was Doane Pet Care, before Mars. Habes Mansour is the plant Manager and he is the scum of the earth. He does not care about the employees as long as they make there quota with Tons. His little sidekick Angel Morfin is his little you know what. This poor employee is a Temp and believe me they threat them like Crap. I don't buy this for a minute.
No one told her about the "Tidy Bowl" Men?
Probably having convention in her toilet?
"The man, calling from Clarence Brommel Street, said his wife was in the master bedroom stuffing towels into the toilet. He defended his wife's sanity."
Yes, of course, this was highly irregular comming from the Brommel' community.
And he appologized for her unusally "demonsterative" behavior by stating, "this was a curse to all the Brommel' women going all-the-way back to Mr. Beau Brommel" moreover, "she would regain her sanity temorarily after doing a load of laundry by adding a roll of toilet paper to it."
"Cheerio!"
Petty theft?
Just wait till they get their drivers license.
The man, calling from Clarence Bromell Street, said his wife was in the master bedroom stuffing towels into the toilet. He defended his wife’s sanity.
She probably saw demons too. I'm guessing the top two incidents are not related?
