We Were Robbed

Last month we had our home broken into. Today, it was the police who robbed us. A copy of our police report cost $3. This of course, after they did nothing.

What we did find interesting though on the police report were codes to describe stolen merchandise.

For instance, Aircraft. If we were in a farm community, or at least a city with a local airport, we could understand this. But unless someone was taking off from route 18, we don't see how a plane could be stolen. Or frankly, where a plan could be parked to be stolen.

Another interesting one is livestock. Maybe this is left over from when pigs ran in the streets, but I don't think anyone today has anything that could be described as livestock unless this includes small children. Though we think this would fall under kidnapping.

Finally, there are 16 codes for drugs beginning with Crack. Who actually reports that their Crack was stolen? "Officer, my Opium was stolen, what are the chances of getting it back?"

Meanwhile, our Social Security card falls under the Category "Other", and we are pleased to see that the number is labeled as "Serial Number".
