First World Problems - Police Blotter version

The Police Blotter for America’s Third Most Expensive Zip Code is a Thing of First World Beauty

A woman told police someone was at her door and that when she asked who it was, no one answered. Police responded and determined the stranger outside had delivered a package.


A person was reprimanded for picking fruit from trees on a vacant property.


A resident worried that a noisy hawk in a tree was in some sort of distress. When authorities arrived, the hawk was quiet and enjoying dinner.

I suspect we fall into the nth richest city category as well—St Helena, CA (Napa Valley).

it is not unknown for residents to call the local FBI office to complain about their inability to get the first Tee time! I kid you not.

I can't imagine they'd be very nutritious, though.

Where's a guillotine when you need one?...

A man in a while truck reported to be whistling and possibly casing the area was contacted and determined to be seeking his dog.

A resident worried that a noisy hawk in a tree was in some sort of distress. When authorities arrived, the hawk was quiet and enjoying dinner.

My favourite is someone calling the cops due to a husky being outside in the garden of its owner during a snowstorm. Dog was loving it first time all year it wasnt sweating its nads off.

I was once asked by a 911 operator if anyone was bleeding. I replied no. She then told me that there would not be an officer coming. The robbery victim would have to go to the police station if they wanted to file a report.

I once saw a car with a smashed front end, driving up the wrong side of the street, with no headlights at 3am, while dragging a newspaper vending machine by a chain. The dispatcher became upset and threatened to fine us we placed any more non-emergency calls.

The only time after that, where I used 911 was to report a dead guy on the sidewalk and my fist thought was oh god I hope I don't get fined for abusing the 911 system.
