Over-the-top Police Blotter Write-Ups

I had a doctor appointment today, so I worked from home. From Noon to 5pm, some jackass' car alarm was going off every thirty minutes for at least five minutes each time. Thank god I finally figured out the key code to get the conference bridge to mute my phone. Nasty-windshield-note to follow....

But, while I was researching on the DPT web site to see if I could get him ticketed or towed (I cooled off and never called), I stumbled on to a hilarious section of the SFPD web site. They have a Community Newsletter page with the weekly police blotter and other info. I seriously think that one of them is an aspiring writer who's biding his time until he makes it big. Check out this blotter entry from Monday, May 16, 8:55am:

He had not run for very long before he realized the two cops were only pacing him. They could see something he could not. With each frantic step a sense of dread nagged at him. The more calm and calculating they were, the further behind he left his common sense, and his panic ratcheted up. As he ran, the black and white radio car glided silently along behind like a predatory whale.

Brilliant.

UPDATE: Wow! I submitted this to one of my favorite blogs, Boing Boing, and they published it! Thanks, Mark!
