Who can get a handicap parking permit?
Posted in Funnyon Jan 20, 2010
I saw this recent police beat:
Jan. 12: The driver of a white pick-up truck reportedly whipped into a handicap stall, parked and ran to class. Officers confirmed that the running person indeed had a handicap permit.
Perhaps they need, “Sort of handicap” parking spaces and “I’m in a wheelchair” handicap spaces.
My favorite though are the “Expectant Mother” parking spaces out the front of Baby’s ‘R Us.

Elk head on your kitchen table
Posted in Funnyon Oct 21, 2009
This came from the BYU police beat this week, and I actually think it is one of the best pranks I’ve read about:
Oct. 11 Several female students left their apartment for 30 minutes to attend ward prayer. When they returned to their apartment, they found a severed elk head on their kitchen table. The suspects could not be identified and the elk was disposed of at the materials handling building.
This was posted under the “trespassing” headline, and I can imagine that it would be threatening to have someone in your apartment without knowing about it, but at least they didn’t damage or steal anything. They were just leaving a surprise gift.

Not a way to meet girls
Posted in Funnyon Sep 16, 2009
From today’s BYU police beat:
September 6: Two male subjects were knocking doors in the female area of Wyview Park. They identified themselves as missionaries. When the police arrived the two male students said they thought it was a novel way to meet girls.
Its kind of like, “Hi, I’m going to lie and deceive you into thinking that I’m a missionary, and then you’ll want to date me.” Not the best of ideas. But maybe we could give them a break, they probably only started their freshman year a week earlier.
I also thought this one was funny:
September 5: Two students tried trespassing into the LaVell Edwards Stadium. Because they were unsuccessful they were not arrested.
Note to future self: Avoid getting arrested by not being successful on your next trespass attempt.

That chair is worth how much?
Posted in Educationon Jun 9, 2009
From a recent BYU Police Beat:
June 2: An office chair was taken from the Faculty Office Building. The chair is valued at $900
The real shocker here is that BYU is paying $900 for office chairs. That does sound like theft.

Are BYU police slow?
Posted in Insightson Jun 2, 2009
I’m noticing a trend in BYU’s police beats:
- “When University Police arrived, they found no one suspicious on the hill.”
- “Officers couldn’t find anything upon arrival.”
- “ The man was gone when an officer arrived.”
- “The men were gone when officers arrived.”
- “The male was gone when a university police officer arrived.”
- “Officers were unable to locate him upon arrival.”
- “ No suspects were found when officers arrived.”
- “They were gone when officers arrived.”
- “Officers could not find the woman or her children.”
Are BYU police just slow at arriving to the scene? Usually the suspect is gone by the time officers arrive. Here is a case where the suspect is found before officers arrive:
An athlete was missing from the NCAA track at the Special Olympics but was found before officers arrived at the site.

Hazardous Material
Posted in Funnyon May 19, 2009
I frequently read the Police Beat from the BYU Newspaper’s website. While the rest of the police beat is usually filled with thefts or people reporting a suspicious individual who could not be found by officers, this one made me smile:
May 13: An individual called to report a strong odor coming from somewhere inside the Tanner Building. Officers discovered it was only the maintenance crew unclogging toilets, bringing out sewer gas odors. That section of the building was aired out.
The funniest part was the title of the beat: Hazardous Material.
