More Crazy Police Reports is this week’s Mystery Question. People once surprised me by the things they did, but not so much anymore. lol But first the photo and verse.
This is another case of being at the right place at the right time. I walked out of my neighbor’s house and beheld this awesome sight! I quickly snapped two photos and hurried to my house for my Canon. By the time I walked back across the street, the scene changed. The golden hue was gone as were the rays. So once again, my iPhone saved the day. And Psalm 29 was in my Bible reading earlier in the week.
And now for last week’s Mystery Question. These are responses people have given police when they’re pulled over. One is FALSE. Unfortunately, three of them were actually spoken to police officers…
- “Would you hold my beer while I look for my license?”
- “Can you come back in five minutes? I’m in the middle of a telephone conversation.”
- “There’s no way I was going 85. I had the cruise set at 80.”
- “Officer, that light was yellow. Did you expect me to slam on the brakes and throw my baby out of his car seat?
And the answer is…the popular #4. Congrats to all who guessed correctly!
Now for this week’s Mystery Question: Four blotter reports, three are true (unfortunately) and I made up one. Which police report did I make up?
- The captain dispatched officers to coax a cat down from a tree. After fruitless efforts of calling, “Here Kitty, Kitty, they left. Two hours later, they returned to the same tree to coax a man down. He was 60-80 feet up the tree.
- A noise complaint was reported on Pin Oak Drive. Police responded and found a 50th anniversary party in process. The seniors were advised to turn down the Frank Sinatra music.
- Police were dispatched to Mirmar Beach to arrest a black crow for stealing a silver pendant from a table on a balcony. The officers doubted the veracity of the homeowner’s story, but while they took the report, the crow returned and snatched another shiny pendant from the table.
- Police report a false fire alarm at The Commons. A resident was drying underwear in the microwave.
Okay, Super Sleuths, which one did I make up? Leave your answers in the comments and I’ll enter you in a March drawing for a book from my library.
February’s winner for a book from my library is…Caryl Kane!

All so funny. I say #4.

Glad I gave you a chuckle, Mary! We’ll see next week if it’s #4.
Beautiful photo and verse, Patricia! I’m guessing number one because climbing a tree as a grownup is a lot more scarier than climbing one as a kid when you don’t know any better!
Author
I so agree, Vera, about climbing a tree! We’ll see next week.

We’ll see, BN!
Oh Pat! I hope it’s #4 that you made up and I’m hoping #2 is true! That’s a party I wouldn’t want to miss. If I lived on Pin Oak Drive I would have opened my windows wide to listen to the joy of a shared 50 years and Frank’s music! What fun!
Again your photo and verse are perfection. It struck me how fleeting a beautiful moment can be. It’s a reminder for me to keep my eyes open and not get so lost in the busyness of life and lists.
Author
Debra, what a good analogy! And I’m like you–I would open my windows and listen, too. 😉 We’ll see next week if it’s #4.
Ah, that photo and verse go so well together. I’m sure glad cell phones have decent cameras so we can capture photo opportunities like that one. I remember so many times before cell phone cameras wishing I had a camera with me for one of those shots.
Well, you did it this time, Pat. I’m having such a hard time figuring out which report you made up. I think all are plausible. I’m going with #3 because I can’t imagine police answering a call to “arrest” a bird for anything, let alone stealing some jewelry. Not that a bird wouldn’t steal some, but I think the police have bigger birds to catch; the real jailbird variety.

So glad you enjoyed the photo and verse, Tim. Last night I captured the full moon with my Canon…anxious to see how well they turned out. I’m so glad you had a hard time figuring out which one I made up. lol We’ll see if your logic brought the correct incorrect answer. 😉
I’m guessing #4, but I’m hoping number 1 is false! (I was born & raised in MN & know that crows are attracted to shiny objects!!!)
Author
Hi MS Barb! We’ll see next week. 😉
I think #1. What’s wrong with drying underwear in the microwave?
Author
Lol, Deborah! We’ll see next week…
I am guessing #3 this week.
Author
Hi Gloria! We’ll see next week.
Oh gosh, these were so funny! I don’t imagine we can pick #1,2, 3, and 4 can we? So going with #1?????
This photo was profound! I absolutely wanted to hug it and lift my arms in praise to God. The Scripture is perfect. Bless the LORD oh my soul. Bless His holy name!
Author
I’m so glad I gave you a laugh today, Barbara! We’ll see if it’s #1 next week. As for the photo–I couldn’t believe it when I was those rays shooting upward. It made goosebumps on my arms, it was so beautiful. Almost like the way I feel when I see a rainbow.
Oh indeed, my friend, indeed! This photo is frame-worthy!
Beautiful picture, but no matter the splendor of the sun radiating off the clouds, God’s holiness is so far superior in its splendor. How we need to dwell on that scripture.
I choose #2. A 50th anniversary would place the wedding sometime in the late 60s to early 70s unless this is a very old report. I think people typically play music from the era in which they were married. I don’t think Sinatra was much in vogue then. Elvis and the Beatles would have been more likely.
Author
As always, your logic is perfect…except we’re dealing with people… 😉 We’ll see next week. And I so agree that God’s holiness is so far superior to anything else.
P. S. What if this was an older couple who married late? And I didn’t say how old the report was… 😉
While I can see your logic, I’m going to throw a monkey wrench in there. My parents got married in their late 20s in 1967. At their 50th, there was a lot more Sinatra than anything resembling Elvis or the Beatles! 😉
Author
🙂
I’ll guess #3. The crow probably would not come while people were nearby.
Author
We’ll see, Joan–great logic, by the way…

We’ll see, Judy!
I shall pick #3 this week. Thank you for sharing. Blessings
Author
Hi Lucy! We’ll see if it’s #3 next week.
I’m going to guess #2
Author
We’ll see, Gail. Number two is getting popular!
My thoughts echo Edwards’s. We’ve been married 54 years. So it would be The Beatles, Stones, Buffalo Springfield, etc. or maybe Nancy Sinatra with These Boots Were Made For Walkin’.
#2 for me.
Author
We’ll see how you and Edward’s logic works out Tuesday, Paula. 😉
The picture is so beautiful. The verse fits it well. I’m going to guess #3. They are all pretty funny.
#3 is my guess! congrats to Caryl on her win
I’m going with #1.
“I think one of your blog questions needs to be “how many keyboards have been ruined by spewing coffee because the owner has been reading Patricia Bradley’s blog?” Whether it’s police reports, crazy crimes, or insurance claims I love reading your scenarios, and they quite frequently cause laughter to ring out. Thank you! 🙂
I’m going to guess #4 this week. While microwaving underwear too long may cause a fire, surely it wouldn’t be large enough for officials to get involved…maybe. I really really hope that #2 is true! I just love the vision of a group of older people enjoying themselves so much that they have to be told to tone it down. They must have been something in their teen years!!
Author
Aww, thank you, L.! I’m glad my blog gives you a chuckle! Or spit-your-coffee laugh. 😉 We’ll see next week. Thanks for commenting and letting me know how much you enjoy the Mystery Question!
I really hope #4 is the made up one :).
Author
We’ll see, Megan!!
Knowing that cameras never do sunrises/sunsets justice, I can only imagine how gorgeous these scene was in person! Love the verse, too.
This is a tough one, but I’m going to choose #1.
Author
We’ll see, Diane! Thanks for stopping by!
