More From Glasgow Poet-Policeman

12:54 p.m. — Lucky Finds Antiques reports that a man who has an oxygen tank just tried to take "a bunch of antique money" valued at over $1,000. It is unclear from the log if the tank was to alleviate a medical condition or to facilitate an underwater escape.

7:44 a.m. — A wee red dog with a curly tail has taken off from Brenda Lane (the name of a street and not a female) — hey, now the pooch is home again.

9:04 a.m. — At a local school, students are allegedly firing snowballs at a young girl who is blind in one eye, which makes her mother fearful that the other eye might be damaged. (Let's hope school authorities move on this one.)

11:53 a.m. — A soggy wallet, found in a car wash, is handed in.

9:58 a.m. — A small gold dog with short ears and lacking a tail is running free near Studley's.

12:05 p.m. — A homeowner, who has the property for sale with a realtor, is surprised to see it for rent on Craigslist.

11:48 a.m. — A lady has spotted a cat at the side of Highland Street and wonders if it is dead or alive. The ACO finds it is dead. It is not a cat though, but a shredded black plastic bag.

2:20 p.m. — There is a pile of TVs in front of a Front Street residence. Been there for weeks. Maybe months.

4:55 p.m. — A man who left Bootlegger's in a Pontiac Grand Am with front end damage has got away with boots priced at $109.

8:35 p.m. — A female is "flipping out" at Dunkin' Donuts on South Main.

11:45 p.m. — A man is staring hard at a Winter Street building and creeping out a woman within.”

5:20 p.m. — A woman reports that her daughter's father has threatened "to put her through the wall."

6:22 p.m. — A man reports that he gave a cat to a woman who answered a Craigslist ad. The woman has since called to say the cat is a female and pregnant, which is odd because the cat he gave her was male and neutered. Anyway, he said he would come and pick the cat back up tomorrow, whereupon her boyfriend came on the line and said if it was not picked up tonight, he would kill the cat. The original cat owner tells police he has no problem retrieving that cat at once, but now fears a confrontation. Police help ensure the peaceful return of one cat.

7:51 p.m. — Speaking of cats, a large one is behind the women's toilet at the Lilac Mall, and "looks scared." Police are able to "let it go."
