The blotter
Some people are born slow
A retail theft was reported at a department store in the 2500 block of Milton Avenue.
An 18-year-old man switched out his old shoes with a new pair of Adidas tennis shoes.
Police saw the man outside the store. The man ran away.
Despite his new shoes, the man was caught after a foot chase.
Wanted: Nice old ladies breaking the law
A member of the Disabled Parking Enforcement Council repeatedly faxed the Janesville Police Department about a vehicle illegally parked in the handicapped stall at IHOP Restaurant. The faxes included a diagram of where the vehicle was parked.
Police called the owner of the vehicle. The driver was an elderly woman born in 1918. She was hard of hearing.
She confessed to driving the car to IHOP, but she couldn’t recall whether she had hung her handicapped card in the window.
He didn’t get a bailout
A man reported a theft in Evansville. He told deputies a Florida woman had prepared his state and federal taxes from 2006 to 2008.
In January 2008, he never received his economic stimulus check. He found out his tax preparer had received his check.
He also learned his tax preparer had been depositing his refund into her account. She then gave him his tax return, showing no refund.

What is the point of this blog? I find none of these particularly compelling, and prior blogs were not much better.
