Car burglary, 8/26/12 Sometime during the night the passenger window of a Chevy Silverado was smashed near the corner of Augusta Drive at Merion Terrace and a backpack containing a Dell Laptop computer and a Verizon 4G Wi-Fi card was taken.

D.U.I. 8/25/12 A Volkswagen sedan was pulled over in front of 7-11, the driver smelled suspicious and when he flunked field sobriety tests he was arrested for drunk driving. His blood alcohol level was exactly the legal limit of .08 percent.
Where's the older homeowner? 8/25/12 An 88-year-old woman who lives alone hadn't been spotted by concerned residents in several days; she's usually out watering in the evening. They were worried because her mail was accumulating and newspapers hadn't budged from the front porch and her car was still in the garage. Police attempted to contact her and they checked with MOFD who hadn't reported that she had been picked up. Cops ended up cutting a window screen and climbed through an open window to gain entry into the home. She wasn't there. They closed up and left a business card requesting a phone call when she arrived.
Fight over parking spot, 8/24/12 Two owners of businesses at the Rheem Shopping Center had a loud dispute about employees or the owner parking in stalls assigned for customers. This was the third time the pair had gone at it over parking. Cops politely suggested they take the matter up with management of the shopping center.
Paint sprayer vanishes, 8/10/12 A paint sprayer valued at about $275 was left in an unlocked shed in the backyard of a Williams Drive home. Because the shed was unlocked for roughly two weeks, hard to know when exactly it disappeared. No leads at this time.
