People were getting scam letters from “The Publishers Clearing House” saying they had won, and if they could deposit the
enclosed check that would be a great first step. Step two would be to then send a couple hundred bucks to an address in New
York. The recipients of these letters were all in the Midwest. The checks were from a “sponsoring partner” which is this case was
a completely random carpet company in my jurisdiction. When I called the carpet company they were already well aware that
their name and address was being used on completely worthless checks to try and scam people on the other side of the country.

Teenager got fired from a bakery. He felt it was unjustified so he decided to picket. With a big sign accusing the owner of the
bakery - an old German guy – of being a Nazi. This was a little embarrassing for the teen’s mother, who happened to be on the

Room-renting tenant was freaking out that her room mate/landlord had gone MIA over the weekend. Filed a police report.
Impressed the police that something terrible must have happened. The police (me) spent a couple long days trying to find the
missing landlord. I eventually got a working phone number for her and found she was alive and well, and on vacation in Eastern
Washington, and quite flummoxed that I had been leaving messages with all her relatives. Turns out the massive over reaction
freakout from the renter was because, it turned out, she was pretty mentally ill. Landlord kicked her out after that.
