The Blotter 

By and
What You Been Sniffing?: Police were summoned to a local store after a man tried to return a receipt he had found in the parking lot for a cash refund. The inspiration for his harebrained scheme may have been what police later found concealed in the master crook's jacket -- a bottle of glue.

Theft Calling Cards: Personnel at a local towing company called police after they discovered a thief had stolen several items from one of the impounded vehicles. The thief was nice enough to have left something behind as well -- his ID.

No Swingers Allowed: A woman reported that some killjoy had cut the strings of her hammock while she was away for the day.

Parent From Hell: During a parent-teacher conference, the mother of one of the more unruly students informed the teacher that her son did not like him, and would probably cause him bodily harm.

Drive-by Painting: A woman reported that between the hours of 5am and 9am one day, someone threw paint on the front of her residence.

Dog Day Afternoon: Upon arriving at a male acquaintance's house to return his dog, a woman was spit at and threatened by the ungrateful pooch owner.

Take My Car. . .Please: Several careless folks have had their cars stolen during the last few weeks, including one woman who left the keys in her car while it was parked in the driveway, and a man who left his keys dangling from the front door. Finally, one man reported that after spending the afternoon at his house with a "friend," he looked out the window only to see his buddy driving away in his car.

Wash, Wax and Steal: A woman reported having her car stolen from a local car wash. Only problem is that she had left her vehicle in the care of a local body shop. Turns out one of the employees had taken the woman's car to the car wash and, you guessed it, left the keys in the ignition and the engine running.

Wicked Bitch Of The South: After a woman confronted a reckless driver who almost ran her and her dog over, the feisty motorist responded: "I don't have to slow down. I'm going the speed limit and the next time I see you walking I'm going to run over you and your little dog too."

Blotter items are chosen from the files of the Charlotte Police Department.
