Police Blotters

Every once in a while, I love to post blotter info from my favorite vacation spot in Texas, Corpus Christi. Some of it is serious, but a lot of the things that are reported to police just make you wonder. Thanks to Corpus Christi Caller Times.

4600 Schwerin Lake Drive: A 32-year-old woman said she arrived home to find her front door and the door's handle purposely stained. She said it looked as if someone also had tried to steal her reindeer display without success. The reindeer had been chained down.
When asked by police, Mrs. Claus denied any involvement but offered a spot on the S&M Naughty list...

1700 Karen Drive: An 81-year-old woman said she noticed some personal bathroom items, such as shampoo and perfume, were missing. She said she then noticed bed sheets and 11 pairs of shoes missing.
Upon further investigation, the woman realized most of her house was missing, then realized it wasn't her home...

3900 Panama Drive: A 42-year-old man told police someone took his boat. He said the boat was later returned with half a tank of gas.
You know, I'd be fucking lucky if something stolen was brought back, not bitching about the crook not filling it back up...

2700 South Staples Street: A man said his 6-year-old nephew got splashed in the face with gasoline while standing at a gas pump. The man said his nephew wanted to watch him pump gas. He said nothing came out of the nozzle at first, then gas suddenly gushed out and struck the child's face. The man flushed his nephew's eyes with water until medics arrived.
OK, Timmy. Tell me when you see it coming down the little tube...

Sheffield Lane: A 24-year-old man informed police the passenger side window of his Chevy Cavalier was smashed out and $1,400 in stereo equipment stolen. He said suspects also stole the car's battery valued at $40.
You know, that's just adding insult to injury. Not that the battery was stolen, but that it was worth $40.

4900 South Padre Island Drive: A 15-year-old boy was issued a trespass warning and turned over to his mother after he was accused of shoplifting a pair of Converse tennis shoes, valued at $30. Store employees said the boy took the shoes from a display and put them in the waistband of his shorts, under his T-shirt.
Hey kid, is that a Converse in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
