Police Blotters II

All of my usual sources of Strange Findings are tapped dry today, so I figured a little commentary on some Blotters is in order:

5500 Leopard Street: A police officer reported finding heavy smoke that smelled like marijuana and crack cocaine lingering in the air of a non-smoking room at a hotel. The bathtub was clogged with butts, and the toilet seat had been ripped off. The last people to use the room had checked out.
-If thats how the last people who checked into the room found it, who are they to clean it? Either way, thats one hell of a party!

3700 Castle River Drive: A 59-year-old woman said someone dumped out and cut off the tops of two of her plants and filled her water fountain with soap. She estimated the damage to her property at $145.
-Hey, they didn't salt the earth so nothing else would grow, so count your stars

1200 Sixth Street: A 41-year-old man said someone claiming to be from MasterCard called him. He said when he declined the offer of a card, the caller became abusive, obscene and challenged his sexual preferences.
-Soliciting phone calls, no charge; claiming youre gay, Priceless...

2900 North Shoreline Boulevard: A 26-year-old woman told police her purse and makeup, valued at $70, were stolen when her car was burglarized. She estimated damage to her vehicle at $250.
-Police believe the burglars are fashion motivated and are now looking for lip-gloss, I repeat: Lip-Gloss...
