Police Blotter: Debit Account Thefts, Dog Seller Changes Mind

ANIMALS

A resident of Pinyon Pine Court North reported that a neighbor walked her dog in front of his house, and the dog sat on his parkway at 9 a.m. May 10. The resident said that the neighbor then yelled at him, but he could not hear what was said because he was cutting the lawn. The neighbor told the officer that she said nothing to the resident because she was on the phone. The neighbor is upset because the resident files complaints over nothing and she thought this is harassment.

An officer located a black-and-white cat with no collar or tags at 5:30 p.m. May 10 at Cherrywood Road and Hickory Drive. The cat did not have a microchip and was transported to Kings Kennel.

SUSPICIOUS INCIDENT

A resident reported that someone slid the window screen on the garage about six inches over between 1-4 p.m. May 9 on the 1-100 block of Buckingham Lane.

VANDALISM

A resident of the 900 block of Harvest Circle reported that someone wrote vulgar and derogatory words in the dust on her van between 9 p.m. May 9 and 10 a.m. May 10. The resident did not know who did it, but has had ongoing neighbor problems.

PHONE HARASSMENT

A resident reported that she purchased a dog May 8 had been advertised on Craig’s List. The seller now has remorse and wants the dog back. The resident called the seller and told her she would not return the dog. The seller continues to call and send text messages. An officer left a message for the seller to stop her communications and the officer advised the resident to have the seller’s number blocked.

THEFT

A resident reported that she received email notification May 10 that her online purchase was ready for pick up. In checking, the resident found that someone used her debit card to make an unauthorized purchase in California. The resident has notified the bank, which has cancelled the debit card and reimbursed the amount.

A resident reported that her debit account has been used to make numerous unauthorized magazine subscriptions. The resident reported this to her bank, which refunded the unauthorized charges since last June. The resident has now received a call from a collections agency stating that the resident owes $1,600. The resident hung up and checked her credit report and found everything OK. She will place an alert with the credit bureaus.

OTHER INCIDENTS

A resident reported May 10 that when she requested a quote for car insurance, she was told by the agent that he has been in a bunch of accidents involving a Subaru and a Toyota. The resident stated that she has never owned either vehicle and was in one accident in 2008. The resident thinks someone is using her identity and will take steps to protect herself.
