Why is reading about crime funny to me?
I find the news on television depressing, but reading about the criminal activity in my town is just too funny. If you're bored, I really recommend visiting the Gazette Times online and searching "Crime Watch." The results are usually hilarious, sometimes disturbing, and definitley tells you a lot about this little college town.
Let me post some hilarity (which may just be hilarity because I live here). They are not in any specific order.
THEFT 3:05 p.m. An unknown white male stole a belt from Sanchos Restaurant, 1425 N.W. Monroe Ave. The belt, imported from Mexico, is leather and holds five shot glasses. It is valued at $100.SHOPLIFTING 5:04 p.m. Female, 55, cited on an accusation of shoplifting for reportedly stealing miscellaneous grocery items, valued at $9.48, from Albertsons, 2005 N.W. Circle Blvd.
CAR PROWL 8:31 a.m. A laptop computer and a digital photo printer, total estimated value $1,450, was reported stolen from a vehicle in the 2800 block of Northwest 29th Street. Entry was gained through a window left partially open.
BIKE THEFT 10:20 a.m. A mountain bike valued at $1,200 was reported stolen from an open garage at a residence in the 1000 block of Northwest Charlemagne Place. Whoever took the bike apparently left a longboard style skateboard behind.
PIG AT LARGE 2:29 p.m. Trap set for a feral pot bellied pig in the 26800 block of Alsea Deadwood Highway.
POT-BELLIED PIG CAUGHT 9:17 a.m. A deputy trapped a feral pot-bellied pig in the 26800 block of Alsea Deadwood Highway in Alsea and took it to Heartland Humane Society.
DRIVING WHILE PRIMPING 9:08 p.m. Female, age not listed, pulled over by an officer on Highway 99W near Lewisburg Road. Reportedly, her driving speed was erratic, she was swerving all over the road and had a turn signal on but did not turn. She told the officer she had been applying lipstick and that she dropped it at one point.
THEFT 2:20 p.m. A wallet was reported stolen out of a dorm room in Sackett Hall. It was found later near a fraternity, with $112 cash missing.
I couldn't find any stories about sheep, but I know they are out there...
