At the 'Copa, 'Copa Cabana

Ben has in the past forbidden me from looking at the Sheriff's Log in our little local newspaper, The Communicator. He swears nothing good can come from it, and I do have a tendency to let my imagination run wild. Bu-ut being book-less, and not having the energy to mop my kitchen floor AGAIN, I may have perused the entire paper cover to cover (you know all 16 pages of it) yesterday afternoon.

I just had to laugh... amidst the typical burglar alarms, DUI's, and other types of domestic violence here's what our Sheriff's Dept. had to report:
* Cows were reported on Hwy. 238.
* A 2 yr. old was reported walking alone on the M-CG Hwy (no laughin' on this one)
* A bus driver took a 5 yr old to the wrong bus stop, a 6 yr old was not on the school bus, a 4 yr old was reported to have gotten off at the wrong bus stop, a 6 yr old and 11 yr old were missing after being last seen getting on the school bus, a child got on the wrong bus, a worried parent called to report the bus was over 45 minutes late and her child was not home yet. Unbelievable...there are still several more bus related incidents.
* A report of a juvenile problem was received when 9-10 juveniles were playing a game and lying down in the street.
* A juvenile problem was reported when juveniles on bikes, foot, and skateboards (oh my!) were in Tutor Time. (Perhaps tutoring service was needed?)
AND MY PERSONAL FAV:
* A report was received of a naked man sleeping in the bed of his pick up truck.

So there you have it folks, your own little peak into our little piece of paradise...life in the 'Copa Cabana!

THIS is why we love Maricopa, huh? I will have to tell you my own personal story of stolen shoes because the police said I didn't need to report it.

Ha! I'll add to it... my flip-flops were stolen last summer at a public pool in Chandler. Isolated incidents...perhaps not?

I read all that in the paper last week and got my own chuckle. Except the part about the 2 year old is not so funny.

*I guess that will teach the rest of us to wear clothes when we nap in our pickup trucks.
