Miscellaneous Mischief: Take $250 From Car, Then Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em
Police reports: Car burglaries and thefts collected from reports last week include the incident of someone taking $250 in cash from the center console and a pack of cigarettes from the front seat of an automobile.
Apologies to the victim, but it does seem to be tempting fate when one leaves $250 in cash on the console and four packs of cigarettes on the car seat.
And FYI, cowhorn handlebars are the ones that turn up and look kind of like a steer's horns.
