3-car MVC on SR 305 caused by a distracted driver in an Acura who ran into the back of a Chevy, that was then shoved into the
back of a Mazda that had been in the very front. I issued a ticket to the Acura driver who had caused it all and she asked me
“Am I the only one who getting a ticket?” Insinuating that I should have cited other drivers, I guess, so I asked her for her
opinion, since it looked like she had one: “Uh, do you believe the other drivers should get ticketed too?” Her answer surprised
me: “That guy in front of me..he’s the one who hit that car in front of him, so..yeah!”

Old man left his car running, parked in front of a grocery store while he was inside shopping. I noticed, and waited for him to
come out so I could educate him on the Dangers of Leaving Your Car Running Outside a Grocery Store. Danger #1 of course is
that somebody will steal it. He came out and I pointed out to him that such a thing had actually happened just a month earlier,
in front of the same store there. “Well I wanted to keep the engine going so it would be warmed up when I came back out to it,”
he explained to me. I pointed out to him that he was driving a brand new 2007 Toyota Avalon and unlike his 1941 Dodge diesel
pickup truck, his new sedan was perfectly ok to be started up “cold”.

Tire tracks in the grass lawn at the elementary school. Big, obnoxious tire tracks; obviously some 20-something year old with a
big pickup truck was being an asshole and not caring about the school grounds. The truck was long gone when I got there but
left behind in the middle of the crime scene was a large round plastic light cover, for one of the 4 huge auxiliary lights that was
mounted on the roof of the truck cab. I recognized that cover, knew the truck it belonged to, and was super pleased when I
hunted down that truck to see three matching light covers on the roof of the truck. And one missing one. Oh wait, it wasn’t
missing it was in my hand.

911 call for an old guy under a house. It was a very hot summer day and grandpa had gone under the house to work on something
and now he wasn’t answering his phone or making noise or coming out and grandma was quite sure he’d had a heart attack or
something in there and the fire department showed up and they were getting ready to go in after him when he crawled back out
perfectly fine, quite bemused to see all the fuss his wife had worked up over him. I think he had found it peaceful and quiet in
there and maybe was trying to get some alone time away from his wife.
