I just read the most recent BYU police beat, and found it more rediculous than usual. For example, the next time you decide to play hop-scotch on a Provo sidewalk, you may be vandalizing:
Oct. 25: Police discovered the name of a Web site written in chalk on the sidewalk in Provo. This is considered graffiti.
I wish sometimes the police would arrest a vending machine. Not only are the costs of the inclosed junk food so high that they rob the poor, but I’ve frequently had vending machines eat my coins without giving me the food. Inspite of these vending machine crimes (against me!) apparently there have been some other vending machine crimes:
Oct. 27: Four vending machines were broken into in the Richards Building. The offenders pried open the machines and removed the coin boxes. Accounting is being done to determine how much money was stolen. This is part of a string of vending machine burglaries and is currently under investigation.
And since when was pushing at a basketball game a criminal offense? Usually it just warrents a fowl:
Oct. 24: A BYU student and a visitor had a heated verbal exchange during a pick-up basketball game in the Richards Building. At one point, one of them pushed the other.
As a bonus, I read about someone who had a GPS stolen out of his car:
Oct. 26: A student reported a stolen Garmin GPS that was taken from a parked car with a smashed window. The stolen property was valued at $900.
$900 for a GPS?!? That student did get robbed–by the store that charged him $900 for a GPS! (They usually run $150-$300).
