Woman called 911 to report her ex-husband was supposed to receive their kid she was dropping off at his house for his regularly
scheduled visitation. But there was no answer at his phone or door, and she was worried that something had happened to him,
especially since his dog was found loose running around the neighborhood. A reserve officer and myself get dispatched. We talk
to the woman out front, agree it’s suspicious, and agree to go into his house and check things out. We find a back door open
and can hear a very loud stereo blasting upstairs, but nobody is home. We search every room anyway, starting with the first
floor and working our way up. We check all the bedrooms; all empty - and find ourselves eventually at the master bedroom
door. The music is blaring in there, and we’ve convinced each other by then that the dude is dead in there. We open the door.
He’s on the bed but he is not dead. He is very much alive. Banging his girlfriend in bed.

Police get called one night to stop what looks like a car theft attempt in progress, or maybe a car prowl. I arrive on the scene in
a church parking lot and confront a group of teen boys who explain they were just good-naturedly messing with their youth
pastor’s car; it was a little Kia and it was so small they were able to pick it up and rotate it in place. The funny part though was
that the car was so small (and cheap) that when they picked it up it got torqued and twisted enough that the back window frame
got bent and blew out the back window glass. Darnit.

8 am; I get dispatched to a bank alarm. The bank was not open for the day yet so wasn’t too concerned. The alarm trip was
caused by a loose balloon floating around in the break room. After I got there, a bank employee responded to shut off the alarm.
She got all flustered because she wasn’t sure if she had right code or not to deactivate the alarm system so she called for her
manager to come in a bit early and turn it off, so while we were waiting for the manager I stared at the teller. Finally asked her
“Uh, what happens if you type in the wrong code?” She said “Well, the alarm company would call the police!”
