Information. A 60-year-old Daytona Beach woman arrived at the police station to report missing items. Items, she said, were taken while she was sleeping in her locked car.
According to an incident report, the woman said she fell asleep in her car in the parking lot of a local alcohol and drug prevention education center after it closed because she was not feeling well and didn't want to drive home. When she woke up around 4 a.m. the following morning, she said someone had gone through her backpack and purse in the front seat. Her driver's license, library card, a credit card and two calendars with "very important information" were missing.
Police noted that there were no signs of forced entry or damage to her vehicle, adding in the report that the story she was telling didn't make sense. The woman yelled at police as they asked questions.
The report stated the woman reported something similar last year, alleging her passport had been stolen and that her cell phone has been "tapped" numerous times, "that people are listening to her wherever she goes."

Suspicious incident. Police responded to City Hall after clerks in the Finance Department reported a citizen made threats to involve the Italian mafia due to his past-due water bill.
The clerks stated that the 62-year-old Ormond Beach man entered the office to pay his bill and have his water service reconnected. The man appeared annoyed during the interaction, according to the incident report, and told the clerks, "This department is as bad as the Italian mafia." He then added, "Maybe I should get someone to take care of you all," subsequently asking one of the clerks if she was Italian.
The clerk didn't answer and the man left. She told police that the man may be mentally ill, and that they deal with him almost every month.
