Oh blogs.
Personal rant? An opportunity to actually listen to that motherly advice from one’s youth: If you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all.
Or a wise mix of both.
I’m sure I don’t know. But I plan to find out with this, the first of perhaps a few Dog Blog posts.
Today? Criminals, no one ever said you had to be smart to be one…and yes, all that’s listed below happened within the Greenville city limits over the past week or so.
Like the potential car thief probably shouldn’t buy a lottery ticket any time soon. His luck was in short supply when he pried open the door of a Saturn parked in a lot off Grove Road. Too bad the car had actually broken down in the lot.
Someone reported a 2005 Hyundai Sonata stolen from downtown. Turns out someone calling himself the car owner’s friend had actually just moved it to a different location
Church vans – they’re apparently not sacred. One was parked in front of a Missionary Baptist Church and now it’s without a battery…presumably after the thief realized a rock to the steering column wasn’t getting him anywhere.
Folks at one Lowndes Hill Road home may actually be glad for the frigid temps of late. Someone stole the air conditioning unit.
Then there’s the woman who left the Walgreens on Laurens Road, opened the door of her Ford Explorer only to find a strange man sitting there. He thought it was his car he told her. Problem No. 1 with this story: Her car was gold. The car he drove away in – after being shooed out – was gray.
These folks must be building a house. Why else would someone steal a stove, heat pump and the always-handy breaker box?
Keep your friends close. That’s what one crime victim learned last week after a male acquaintance knocked her in the back of the head. He got cigarettes, eyeglasses and some cash. And now a lot of folks know his nickname – Ray-Ray – his neighborhood moniker, now preserved here, and on an incident report for years to come.
