Hard police work

Last week was a lot of eggings and TP’ings — it must have
been spring break.
This week is full of real crime :-) :

  • A resident of an apartment complex reported the disappearance
    of her cat.
    It’s a black, gold and white female with a red collar,
    and the owner is offering a $1000 reward.
  • My therapist is harassing me, says a local woman.
  • That big screen TV is not
    stolen from an apartment, it was repossessed.
  • Same goes for the dog stolen –
    it escaped and was picked up my animal control.
  • An elderly man instructed his off-leash dog to
    “kill her, kill her” while gesturing towards the
    mother of a man wo decided he’d better call police.
  • A sick racoon found lying against a fence at [...]
    was sent to live on a big happy farm out in the country
    with lots of other raccoons,
    if you know what I mean.
    [As
    said
    before
    , this is exactly how it appears
    in the newspaper. --MB]
  • Three men fishing under a no trespassing sign
    were advised to dip their lines elsewhere.
  • A man called police to say a telemarketer is
    harassing him.
    [We all should be doing this. --MB]

    I hear you. I only put the weird stuff up — I leave out all the DUIs, MIPs, robberies, thefts and domestics. It’s not all raccoons and funny calls.

    I’m guessing you’re referring to the Lake Oswego Review. Take a ride with a LO Cop, late on a Friday or Saturday night, and you’ll see they don’t print most the tragic, nasty news. Yes, even Surgeons and CEOs beat their wives.

    Printing everything wouldn’t reinforce the theme park which is LO. They have to sell papers, after all. Which is why they constantly print my daughter’s picture, even if it’s for truly un-newsworthy dumb stuff.

    Oh, and as for the raccoons? It’s my husband who has to go and shoot them when they’re rabid. He says it’s the worst part of his job. Now that’s something you can only say in Law Enforcement in Lake Oswego!
