Bad cop, no donut

Some recent police blotter entries:

Friday, June 22• A man in the 800 block of 29th Street awoke to discover his 1993 Ford Taurus was hit overnight while it was parked on the street in front of his house. The vehicle sustained more than $750 in damage. Officers are looking for a red vehicle with damage either to the left rear or right front quarter panel. There may be some white paint transfer on the car.

I looked this car up on Kelly's blue book - in Good condition with all the defaults selected, this car is only worth $1550. I had to laugh... I guess you had to be there, except it was just me reading the blotter, so it wasn't funny even if you were there.


June 25, 2007 9:05 a.m. Mount Vernon Police officers arrived to the 2300 block of East Division Street on the report of a burglary. Entry was gained by removing a windowscreen and entering through the open window. The missing items were reported as two afghans and a pillow. No dollar amount was assigned and there are no suspects.

I suspect the burglar was last seen driving away in a 1993 Ford Taurus...?

• A 56-year-old Skagit County man was arrested on charges of making a false report after he made a series of 911 calls reporting he had been shot and stabbed. When officers and paramedics located the man on 12th Street near Commercial Avenue he appeared intoxicated but in good health. It turned out he had problems with his roommates and was unhappy with the response he received from law enforcement. He reportedly decided if he said he was shot he would get a better response.

I don't think I need to say anything about that one.

Hmm. Tired. Going to bed.
