More Dumb Blotter Reports: Well, I had so much fun with blotter reports last week, I decided to do it again this week. That’s not exactly true. I did have fun, but I’d thought to go on to something else until I read a few more reports in my local newspaper and a couple I got elsewhere. You can’t make this stuff up, people! Except for one. 🙂
First the photo. I was late taking a walk last night and was blessed with this amazing sunset through the trees.
Now for last week’s Crazy Blotter Reports: Three of the reports are from my local paper. One is false. Can you guess which one?
- A man reported someone entered his Chevy pickup and stole his Smith & Wesson 9mm gun. The last time he saw his gun was a month ago.
- A woman reported while she was at work someone took her car, which contained her purse. She admitted she is eight or nine months behind on the payments.
- A couple reported their neighbor had a goat tied to her back porch. When the police informed the goat owner she would have to move the goat, she did. The couple reported she moved the goat to the front porch.
- When a car backed out of a parking space and hit another car, the driver who was hit got out and started taking photos. The first driver tried to stop her and after hot words were exchanged, she belly-bumped the victim. Both women filed simple assault charges.
And the answer is…#3. Congrats to all who got the correct answer.
Now for this week’s More Dumb Blotter Reports: Three true reports from my local paper. One false. Can you guess which one?
- 11:32 a.m.: A pickup, possibly being driven by a dog with its head sticking out the driver’s side window, was weaving all over the road.
- 1:05 a.m.: A man called the police because his TV wasn’t working. When an officer arrived, he found the TV unplugged.
- Another goat story: 5:28: An officer got three goats back inside their fence and used crime scene tape to help secure the gap in the gate where they escaped.
- Southland crime: Man accused of mooning doorbell camera in Palos Heights.
Okay, Super Sleuths, which one did I make up? Leave your answers in the comments and I’ll enter you in a May drawing for a book from my library!

Hi Mary! Good to ‘see’ you here, and we’ll see next week if it’s #2!
I’m going to go with #1.
Author
Hi Diana! We’ll see next week. 🙂 And thanks for stopping by!
Last week’s goat story STILL has me cracking up, so I’m going to go with the goats again: #3!
Author
I’m glad you liked my goat story. Next week’s post will have an admission of sorts of how I came up with it. 🙂 Thanks for always stopping by, Priscilla!
Beautiful Scripture and photo, Pat! There is a worship song that I like which I believe was inspired by that verse.
So, when the officer pulled over the dog in #1, was the dog cited for an expired dog license? 🙂
It’s hard to believe any of these are true, but #2 seems to be the dumbest, so put me down for #2 this week.
Author
Love your logic, Tim! We’ll see if that’s the correct incorrect answer next week. lol And that’s one of my favorite verses, especially when I see a glorious sunset or sunrise. Thanks so much for stopping by.
Tim, I agree with you. I’m having a difficult time believing any of them are true. Good one about the expired dog license. 🙂
I hope it was #1. That would be terrifying.
Author
We’ll see, Delores. So good to ‘see’ you here and thanks for always stopping by.

We’ll see, Lisa! Thanks for stopping by.
I am guessing #2.
Author
Number 2 is proving to be quite popular, Gloria…we’ll see next week. Thanks for stopping by!
LOVE Ps 113:3 (used to sing an old chorus of this scripture at church!) guessing, #2!
Author
Yes, MS Barb! That is an old song we used to sing, too…I haven’t heard it in a long time, though. Thanks for stopping by!
#2 only because I can’t see the police going out for such a call.
Author
Megan, police often respond to weird calls around here. 🙂 But we’ll see next week if that was one of them. Thanks for stopping by.
Pat, I think the only thing I like better than seeing your pictures with appropriately chosen scripture verses is when I can see sights like that in person. I love that picture.
I am choosing #2. Was the man so desperate for company that he unplugged the TV and called the police so they would give him a visit? Why would the police respond to a call about a TV that wasn’t working? The big question is why the police would allow such a report to appear in their blotter? Seems that would only encourage other looney tunes to call for equally dumb reasons.

Oh, Edward, I wish you could see some of the blotter reports around here. lol. But we’ll see next week if your logic is good for this one. And I’m so glad you enjoy my photos and scripture verse! When I started out walking, I never imagined I’d catch the sunset. 🙂 Thanks for always stopping by!

We’ll see, Patricia! #2 is certainly popular!
Beautiful picture! I hope the fake one is #1.
Author
Thank you, Kay. And we’ll see next week if the fake one is #1. Thanks for stopping in!
Love the scripture and photo, Pat!
#3
Author
Thanks, Caryl! And we’ll see next week if it’s #3. So glad you stopped by.
#3 because the goats would eat the tape and escape again.
Author
Love your logic, Shelia…we’ll see. 😉 Thanks for stopping by!!
I think it is #3
Author
Hi Alicia! We’ll see next week if I pulled two goat stories on you in a row. 😉 Thanks so much for stopping by!
