Crime & punishment
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
These are some, but not all, incidents reported to the Sandy Springs Police over the past week.
Burglary
Someone forced the victim’s door open in the 600 block of Spring Creek Lane and took a laptop computer and a lockbox containing personal documents. (Lockboxes aren’t any good if the perps can pick them up and walk away with them.)
Someone forced entry into a café located in an office building in the 6500 block of New Northside Drive. The door was forced and over $2000 in cash was taken as well as cigarettes, candy, and soft drinks. (Make that night drop.)
Someone shattered a glass door with a rock and entered into a salon in the 5900 block of Roswell Road. A total of five bucks in change was missing. (That sounds a lot better than $2000 missing. Make those deposits!)
Someone forced entry into a restaurant in the 5800 block of Roswell Road after closing time and ransacked it. They took chickens from the freezer and threw them out into the parking lot and did a considerable amount of damage to the large television on the wall, the cash register, bottled beer, and a number of other items. Nothing was taken. It looks like the intent was either revenge or intimidation.
Thefts
(When an incident report starts like this one, you know it has a bad ending) A woman allowed her ex-boyfriend to take a shower in her apartment bathroom. The ex asked the victim about a diamond ring he saw in her jewelry box. He asked if he could borrow it. She said no. Later, she noticed that it was gone. She asked him if he had it. He said he sold it for $900. Okay, when the ex asks about anything, the car, the jewelry, your i-Pod, pets, anything, that’s a big CLUE to hide them well.
