The Devil Made Me Do It

From the Police Report:

300 block of Jackson Street: A Glendale woman reported Monday that someone had broken the right front passenger-side window of her car and stolen her Bible.

Wow, I haven't seen this crime before. We'll see if this becomes a trend like GPS and catalytic converter theft. This week's police report also contains another Americana shoplifting story. This time a woman shoplifted $8 worth of candles from Rite Aid.

Police Report

After weeks of boring crime (GPS theft, possession, drunk in public), the latest police report is full of interesting details:

• 800 block of Americana Way: A 50-year-old Glendale woman was arrested Tuesday at a Rite Aid for allegedly stealing two packs of M&Ms and $127 worth of makeup.

This is the first Americana crime mentioned so far. All those high-end shops and this lady goes for M&Ms and makeup?

• 1100 block of North Louise Street: A 23-year-old La Crescenta woman was arrested Tuesday for allegedly being drunk in public after officers found her in an apartment building’s laundry room vomiting.

That's a low moment- stumbling into a random laundry room to vomit into a hamper.

• Mountain Street at North Verdugo Road: A 50-year-old Glendale man was arrested for riding his bicycle on the sidewalk and for allegedly being in possession of marijuana.

Please note that riding a bicycle on the sidewalk in Glendale is against the law. The only place I've seen Glendale PD consistently enforcing this is downtown on Brand- unless they need a pretense to stop someone dodgy looking, which was probably the case here. Riding on the sidewalk is legal in the City of Los Angeles provided you stay away from pedestrians.

Veggie Burgers?

The things people will shoplift! From the Police Report:

500 block of North Glendale Avenue: A 35-year-old Los Angeles man was arrested Thursday on suspicion of being in possession of stolen property, two packages of veggie burgers.

I've read that meat is one of the most commonly shoplifted items in grocery stores, so this makes sense, in a way.
