Perusing the Police Log

The police log is printed in our local (weekly) newspaper. It is almost always the source of some amusement.

Among other things, this week someone reported a "suspicious scarecrow" on the driveway.

Every week there are at least four "suspicious vehicle" reports. Most read like this:

"Friday, April 4, 4:04PM: Caller reports suspicious vehicle on Elm Street. Officer reported all okay."

I wonder how many of those really end with the officer speaking to the caller at the front door saying, "Mrs. Smith, your neighbor has purchased a new car."
