Banner sign malfunction
4:03 p.m. — West Granada Boulevard and North Washington Street. Information.
The victim said he was driving on West Granada Boulevard in the outside lane when he heard a loud banging and crashing noise on the passenger side of his vehicle. He saw that his passenger side mirror was missing. After stopping, he saw scratches on the side of the car.
The officer determined that a cable had come detached from the Fourth of July Celebration banner sign. A community service officer tied it to a street sign.
The driver said he was mostly concerned with getting his mirror replaced and he could probably find one at a junk yard.

Dog can’t be bribed
4:00 a.m. — 400 Block of Cherryhill Drive. Burglary.
The victim heard his dog, a bullmastiff, barking and went out into the garage. He heard the fence outside rattle and saw that his Kawasaki motorcycle was halfway out the side door, leaning against the doorjamb. He said he leaves the side door ajar, so his dog can go in and out. The garage door was closed.
The officer and victim walked outside and found a chicken thigh lying in the grass. The victim said he believed the suspect threw the chicken over the fence hoping to occupy the dog while he stole the motorcycle.
An officer watching the perimeter nearby saw someone in black run across a road, but he could not be located. Fingerprints were found on the door, motorcycle and a chair that was moved.

Pay day or pawn day
11:20 a.m. — 1300 Block of West Granada Boulevard. Theft.
The witness called police and said he thinks he just pawned a stolen item. He said the suspect picked him up after work and drove him to a pawn shop. The suspect said he didn’t get paid yet, and asked the witness to pawn a tool, so he used his driver’s license to pawn the tool.
After they left the store, the witness asked the suspect where he got the tool, and he said he stole it from a home improvement store.
The officer was able to obtain surveillance footage of the theft at the store, because he knew the time frame the crime likely occurred. He also obtained footage of the suspect at the pawn shop. The serial number of the tool at the pawn shop matched the tool that was stolen. All the information was taken as evidence.
