On 06/08 at 2:40pm an officer was flagged down by the victim on the 500 block of 12th Ave. She had just gotten home and found that the front door of her home had been kicked in. Officers searched the home and found it ransacked and determined that the suspect had already fled the scene. The loss is being determined.
Sarah: I noticed a few days ago a pair of jeans and a pair of tennies on our steps. Was someone trying to mimic the Rapture? Your story seems to say that the Rapture went the other way.
A buck-naked person, holding a pair of pants, was in the process of changing the bulb in the motion detector light fixture when she/he either: (a) suffered spontaneous combustion; or (b) was abducted by aliens.
Has anyone heard about the hit and run on California & 6th ave. involving a pedestrian? It was around on the 15th of June (i believe), around 1230pm. The pedestrian was seriously hurt with a head injury. She had the green light and was crossing California, when a car coming from 6th ave & Clement turned left onto California…right into her. The driver stopped for a second and then took off. Any info on this is appreciated!
