Gotta love it.
These island bikes apparently have been locked up for months at the ferry terminal. A couple more weeks of freedom (sort of), and if they are not removed by their owners, their locks will be cut. The bikes will be repaired, if necessary, and sold or given away by the city. Here are a few more pressing problems faced by small town police nearby.
1.) Suspicious person reported on Great Falls Road was the homeowner shoveling his driveway.
2.) Five domesticated ducks had been abandoned by tenent. Officer left some food. Will check back.
3.) Animal Control Officer checked on a bull. It had food, water, shelter and did not appear in distress.
4.) Caller expressed concern about horses left out in the snow on Dow Road. Officer found that the horses had food, shelter, blankets and water.
5.) New Portland Road caller said she might have lost 40 quarters but was not sure.
6.) Suspicious person on the bypass had pulled over, because a friend was vomiting.
These were just a few of the recent calls recorded on a local Police Blotter.
Country towns around here get a lot of snow, but the days are broken up by some humor too.
Small town livin'.
Gotta love it.
Love it!

I would rather have that than what you get in big cities, "shots fired at a middle school dance, first officer to arrive called a '99'....need more officers".
ReplyDeleteI did love it when I lived in a small town in central Africa, and I guess compared to many Perth would be considered a small city.. Small is good :)

ReplyDeletethat's the kind of police activity we need more of... or maybe it is 'criminal' activity.
ReplyDeleteWhen is the bike sale? I need one without a killer seat . . .
ReplyDeleteSmall town life has its advantages.
ReplyDeleteHa, sounds like a nice place to live.
ReplyDeleteSmall towns are safer places to live than big cities, but then so are many city neighborhoods. Looks like some decent bikes will go on sale soon benefiting everyone but the former owners who forgot they had bikes. Put air in my bike tires yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad those ducks are okay and the horse has water, food, and shelter. Love it!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that this is the worst that has happened in Portland lately!
ReplyDeleteOther parts of the world have horrible problems, enjoy yours for what they are..
ReplyDeleteThe newspaper in Nacogdoches reports these kind of calls daily. Some of them are pretty hilarious.
ReplyDeleteThat definitely sounds very small town!
ReplyDeleteBicycles would have disappeared after one night here...
ReplyDeleteThe problems of daily life.
ReplyDeleteYeah, same as in Livorno here. I wish this was all our police had to deal with...
ReplyDeleteHmm, I could be in the market for a good trail bike. . .
ReplyDeleteSounds like many news items in my small town. We do have our troubles, but they are few, thank goodness.
ReplyDeleteYou get that in the paper, too? It's the only interesting part of our local suburban rag.
ReplyDeleteHad the woman who lost the quarters visited a casino lately?
Yeah. Real stuff happens too but my favorite here was the guy in the banana suit harassing people at a fast food place, then taking off with cops in pursuit. I know it was real because we got caught in a traffic jam when they pulled him over and stopped traffic in both directions for a long, long time. Cops: Making the world a safer place, one banana at a time.
ReplyDeleteI guess even the police have to keep busy!
ReplyDeleteI find it odd that so many people would leave their bikes though. I can understand one or two - but twenty? That's weird.
Gotta love small towns and Island living is the best!!
