Serial Purse Snatcher! The suspect’s MO is to stalk little old ladies in grocery stores – Literally: Little. Old. Ladies. – who each
made the naïve mistake of walking a bit too far away from their purses in their shopping carts. That guy stole at least a half
dozen purses within a month at our local grocery stores. Maybe more; not all of his clients were identified by us. No doubt at
least some of them, seeing the space where they thought their purse should be, concluded that they had lost it themselves and
didn’t ever suspect it was the work of a thief. The suspect did show up on the stores’ surveillance recordings; he wore the same
red shoes every time. Man that guy made me really mad. I wanted to kick his ass, badly. When he was spotted in the Suquamish
Casino, he ran out toward Bainbridge Island via the bridge, on foot. Multiple responding officers caught him literally midspan
on the bridge, and he went to jail. That the best part of the whole case, because he made a deal to plead guilty and his sentence
was only like 3 months. Which made me mad. At least I was by then, used to being disappointed by the criminal justice system.

Out of control car took out a couple of garbage bins set out on the curb in front of some houses for pickup. I’m out there, talking
to the owners of the bins. I can’t remember if the car was still there, or down the street, or long gone. The only thing I could
remember is that one the garbage bins had its contents exploded all over the neighbors front yard; in this embarrassing case it
was several dozen adult-sized used Depends.

I pulled over a woman for speeding; righteously 55+ in a 35 zone. It became clear to me within a few moments that she was
seriously mentally ill, as she explained she was simply trying to get away from all of the red cars that were stalking her.

Flyers got posted up throughout the shopping center, stating that a jewelry store employee was being accused of attempted
rape. The jewelry store owner is upset about the flyer. I contacted the man who had posted the flyers; he pointed out how he
had very carefully worded everything and could not held liable for any libel. He explained that the 50 year old suspect had been
at a party of mostly teenagers, had got drunk, and tried to rape a girl. The other party goers beat the shit of the guy, the police
were called and the man was booked in the jail. And then his boss man/jewelry store owner quickly bailed him out, angering
everybody. Including myself.
