Hit us up
Someone stole nearly $3,000 in gaming consoles, controllers, cash and other gadgets from a Paramount Drive home on Feb. 23, according to North Charleston police. The suspected thief reportedly climbed on an external air conditioner unit to access an unlocked window. We aren’t saying we’d go, but we would like an invite to the upcoming LAN party, please.
Great plan, poor execution
A James Island man apparently tried to bait his homeowners’ association leaders by planting a “Defund the HOA” yard flag (with an Apple Air Tag sewn into the back) in his front yard. Crazy twist: someone allegedly stole the flag on Feb. 12, but unfortunately the Air Tag was reportedly not charged and could not be tracked. Way to get our hopes up, man.
Take a penny …
A Mount Pleasant man on Feb. 16 reportedly ran his pickup truck into the side of a West Coleman Boulevard building, leaving a piece of his front bumper behind. Mount Pleasant police later found the truck that allegedly caused the damage — evidenced by the brick still wedged between the windshield wipers. Yes — a brick.
‘For starters …’
Charleston police on Feb. 12 found two men passed out near the corner of Meeting and Broad streets downtown, and woke them to ask why they had chosen that spot for a nap. According to a police report, one of the men answered, “Well, we’re drunk.” Officers didn’t seem to have any follow-up questions.
We’ll take that as a ‘no’
A downtown woman on Feb. 15 reportedly stole a $50 phone charger from a King Street store. She reportedly paid for some items, but when an employee approached her and asked if she would be paying for the charger she was trying to hide in her pocket, she hurriedly left the business with all of the items.
