Beautiful day today and for the most part the community behaved themselves.

One of our first calls was for a Burglary in progress in which a witness saw a male try an apartment door then go around the side of the building and climb through a window. Well about 6 of us got there and when I approached the front door a male came to the door and said that he lived there and forgot his keys so he climbed in the window. We said ok that's possible but lets see some identification. The male produced a VA Identification card with a difference address on it so I asked him how long was he living here and he said he shares the apartment with his girlfriend and that he has been here for several months. I ask him if he has any bills in his name which have this address on them and he says he cannot find any and that he pays all his bills on line. One of my partners then asks where is his girlfriend and he says "shes at work" so he says call her and let me talk to her. Well he calls her and she verified his story so we bid him a fond goodby.

I then get a call to meet a complainant in reference to someone stealing gas from her vehicle. The call also states that she is hard of hearing and thats why an officer was dispatched otherwise the call would have been handled over the telephone by someone at the precinct.

So I get there and find out that the person who called is not the one who allegedly had the gas stolen and she is not hard of hearing. It seems like the caller has some mental issues going on in which the neighborhood paper delivery people are in a large group and are stalking her and bugging her phone and that someone had left a soft serve ice cream cup in her trashcan. She went on and on for about 30 minutes about how the delivery people drive down the street at 0400 and that all have these cars with all glass on the top and bright lights. She then asked for my name and when I told her she said "your from Philadelphia aren't you" I took a step back and said how did you know that and she said it was my accent. I told her we would step up patrols in her neighborhood and that if she sees anyone to call us right away. After I left I thought that she wasn't 100% crazy........ she pegged me being from Philly I gotta give her props for that.

Nothing else happened that's worthy to write about so see you all in a day or two.
