phyncke: (Cate WTF?!)
Where do I begin, where oh where do I begin?

Let's start with the last crappy thing that happened and go from there. I will see how long this post goes. I walk home after a really busy day at work to see paper on my windshield of my car. This is never good. It looks suspiciously like a parking ticket...in fact IT IS a parking ticket and I pause. Today was not street cleaning day so I don't get what it could be. I read it...it says..."no tags" on plate. Now wait just a moment. Did I not go to the DMV at 7:30 on Monday morning and renew my registration; take those shiny new tags and PUT them on my license plate?

Yayus. Yayus I dids.

Some *^@(^#(^#@-**hole took my tags right off my license plate on my car. The ticket is for $25.00 and I was just LIVID. I could not see straight for a moment there.

This ticked me off for a number of reasons:

1. I have the worst, oldest and yuckiest car on the block. Why oh why would they take MY tags. Just take the SUV person, would you please? Rich people can pay more fees.

2. I JUST got my tags. Can I have them for a while?

3. It is a scum sucking thing to do. I hope they got caught with the wrong tags on their car and get arrested.

4. I so don't want to go back to the DMV for new tags. Don't wanna!

So I flail for a bit and then start looking things up. I am supposed to file a police report so I call the BPD and get that going. They call a while later and we can do that on the phone. The officer is very nice and efficient. I have my case number and can file that with the DMV and I am good to go.

I am very peeved.

The update I have planned will have to wait for this rather peckish mood to pass. Lots happening but I am not in the mood for a regular update.

Happy weekend everyone and I will post more this weekend.

Where they called a shooting in the area of the University..."Uni-related" it seems that reports contradict this. We have crime in this area but many times it is people coming from outside the area. I saw the aftermath of this on my way home. The block was cordoned off and there were about 7 squad cars with flashing lights.

Here is the police email that came out about it:

Uni Police Crime Alert - Shooting
Top Dog Parking Lot On **** Avenue

A shooting occurred today at 3:44 p.m. in the parking lot east of Top Dog located on **** Avenue. One injured victim is receiving treatment from emergency personnel. ***PD and ***PD are investigating. Please stay out of the area.

UPDATE: While the investigation is ongoing, early indications are that the victim is not affiliated with the University.

Further information will be provided as the investigation continues.

What I think:
There have been other crimes involving students and where students were in fact the victims of crimes but this one was not UC related. The only relation to UC is geography. It is in the area or neighborhood of the college.

I live on South side. I know that there is crime in my neighborhood and I watch for that. I keep an eye out. I don't walk around with headphones on and I hold my bag in a certain way. I don't make myself fodder for a purse snatcher and I try not to look vulnerable.

Such are the facts of life in my town.
