Reports taken from April 24 to May 4
It’s a bonafide mystery, all right
A Mount Pleasant man on April 26 complained to town police that golf balls continuously appeared around his home — he said he found one in his backyard near his recycling bins. A few days before, he found one in his front yard. He said he didn’t know where they were coming from and was concerned. Police noted the man lives across the street from a golf course. Weird.
Time for an upgrade
A downtown man on April 28 reported his bike stolen to Charleston police. He described it as a black beach cruiser with white wall tires, a missing reflector and a piece of foam superglued around the handlebars. The bike is estimated to be worth $30. Hey man, are you sure you want this thing back?
We get it
A Mount Pleasant man on April 25 boarded a blood donation bus with a metal briefcase, several cell phones and multiple items wrapped in aluminum foil, according to volunteers. Shortly after he arrived, the computers and wifi on the bus crashed. When volunteers told the man he couldn’t give blood due to the outage, he left. You know, if you’re afraid of needles, you could have just stayed home.
Guys, they figured it out
Charleston police on May 4 stopped a downtown man walking on King Street and drinking from a brown paper bag. Police noted they know “many convenience stores package alcoholic beverages in paper bags,” and confirmed the man was drinking from a large bottle of beer in the bag. Well everyone, we guess the jig is up. The man now knows the paper bag trick.
