Another month of serving and protecting...

And so it goes...another month of generally unusual items off the chronicles of the Buffalo Grove police log.  As Sgt. Phil would say.. "let's be careful out there..."

Talk about copter parents...
Resident stated that her son’s ex girlfriend returned a jacket to him. The ex girlfriend also stated that it was her mother who wrote disparaging remarks on the jacket. Officer contacted the mother of the ex who denied causing the damage stating that she was out of town. 

At least she didn't have to pay $50 and pick up the garbage...
Resident reported a female subject that placed garbage into the park’s dumpster. Officer checked and could not locate the female. The resident gave the officer the address of the offender. The offender confirmed that she has been placing her garbage into the dumpsters for some time. She will stop. 

Gone HOG wild...Part 1
Agent for a recovery service registered to repossess a 2005 Harley-Davidson FLH motorcycle. The repossession was reported unsuccessful and with incident. See the following report. 

Gone HOG wild..Part 2
Resident stated that two subjects came to his home to repossess a motorcycle. When the resident told the subjects that he does not own a motorcycle and that the name on the order is not him, they wanted to see the resident’s ID and look into the garage for a motorcycle. The resident refused to give two unknown subjects his ID and access to his garage. The officer verified the resident’s ID and found no motorcycle in the garage. The agent agreed to remove the resident’s address from the file.

What the police report noted -- Excellent job by the resident for calling 911 immediately. No resident is required to show their ID or allow someone unknown into their garage. That is one reason we ask that agents for recovery companies register with us before they make their attempt. This way, if an incident occurs, we can address it immediately. 

So much for employee of the month...
Employer requested officers stand by while the employer terminated an employee and have him escorted off the premises. 

Walk on the wild side...
Resident reported two subjects walking on the shoulder of the road with the male subject trying to catch up to the female. Officer located the subjects who were calm and talking. They stated that they were just out for a walk. 

We serve and inspect?
Resident reported that she believes that someone hacked into her computer and deposited a virus. Officer ran the Norton virus program on the resident’s computer and it indicated no viruses. Officer spoke with the resident’s son who stated that he would check his mother’s computer and report anything that he may find. 

Maybe they should have called PETA..
Resident reported that someone may be breaking into her house. The resident stated that she heard noises from downstairs possibly the garage. Officers checked and found the exterior doors and windows secure. The resident had placed her sick dog into the garage and that is who may have been making the noises. All secure.

So much for employee of the month -- Part 2..
Owner reported that a terminated employee calls once each day and uses profanities whenever another employee answers the phone. The owner did not have a current address or phone number for the terminated employee. The owner was instructed to contact his phone provider to have the number trapped or blocked.

Love is a many expensive thing..
Resident reported that his ex fiancé failed to return her engagement ring to him after they broke up this evening. The resident was advised that this would be a civil matter.

iPhone update...
The joys of being an iPhone fanatic -- Four reported stolen, two to middle school students, one to a high schooler, one to a shopper who set it down on a checkout. 

In other news off the blotter....

Congratulations to..
Corporal Anthony “Tony” Goldstein who was promoted to the rank of Sergeant of Police.
