Ahhh... Crime Watch

It's consistently the best part of the Gazette-Times.

My favorite "crime" from this week:

CYCLES AND BASKETBALLS 6:11 p.m., 3300 block of Southwest Philomath Boulevard. A man in his late 20s riding a bicycle got mad when he nearly collided with a man in his 50s riding a unicycle and dribbling basketballs. The younger man chased the man on the unicycle and kicked his basketballs into a neighboring field before riding off.

I love this town!

In addition to the unicycle-prompted bike rage, we had some chick run out without paying for her manicure and a pizza delivery car stolen because it was left running while the deliverer was at the door bringing a tasty pie to some unknowing resident.

There's real crime, too. But in a larger town, these little crime nuggets wouldn't warrant space in a news column. Hooray for silly criminals!*

*Disclaimer: The Management does not actually endorse criminal activity. :P

  • That cyclist unicyclist bike path rage incident was hysterical. Throwing "his balls" into a field was rather symbolic, I thought. I've seen that guy riding bouncing his balls and yeah, he's all over the place and I can see him running into someone, while concentrating on his balls.

    As for the pizza delivery car theft, maybe the person who ordered the pizza was a collaborator in the delivery car theft. Just a thought.

  • poetry, i start so many, and have trouble at the finish. they say people have mental blocks for a reason, ; i have been in 2 major car accidnts ;when iwas in a car a bicyclist threatened me ; i am a female i was stupid to be scared. the bicyclist was crazy he just wanted to get by to catch up with the other racers, but i had the right of way.

    but then their is gossip, and from all of this, of poetry, somebody makes up absolute lies and you believe, it after all ofthis, geez, if someone told me you were an alien would i belive that, of course not!!!! not on monday anyway, hee hee
