Police Reports: What's With All the Eggs? This Is Christmas Crime Season
Someone decides 'tis the season for egg-throwing in Geneva.
Apparently, some criminals didn't get the holiday memo.
In upcoming reports, you'll see additional petty crime that's in keeping with the season: pumpkins thrown at mailboxes and Christmas light cords severed, that sort of thing.
This egging spree is something we'd expect in April. We're calling the Easter Bunny, or perhaps Alec Baldwin. Geneva apparently needs a Rise of the Guardians.
