The Blotter V

Smooth Operator: A woman was loading groceries into her car when a stranger approached and greeted her. "How are you doing ma'am?" he said, then reached inside her car and grabbed her purse, which was sitting on the front seat. He then got into a shiny new red sports car and took off.

Smile, You're on "I'm Busted" TV: A pair of crooks removed two floor buffers from a truck parked in front of a hotel and hid them behind some bushes. The duo returned a short time later in a car and picked up the buffers. Too bad for them the entire incident was caught on surveillance tape, which showed the geniuses' faces as well as the car they were driving.

Thinks He's Houdini: A very determined crook broke into an auto insurance company by digging his way under one fence, then crawling over an electric fence by placing a rubber floor mat over the electric wires. Once he got inside, the crook broke into five cars and stole the airbags out of each.

Smooth Operator, the Sequel: A man walked into a Charlotte home-improvement store, took a $265 drill from the shelf and then walked out the front door. A store employee who saw the drill heist go down chased the man outside, and the two men commenced to fighting. The crook eventually broke free, jumped into the back seat of a car and sped away.

Close Call: As a man walked into his apartment recently, a gun-wielding home invader grabbed him. The man tried to fight off the bad guy, who fired his gun into the air. The bullet hit the ceiling and whirled into the apartment upstairs. No one was injured, but the bad guy got away.

Art for Crime's Sake: Some brilliant local artistes vandalized several Charlotte houses under construction. When workers showed up at the job sites, they discovered the houses had been tagged with graffiti, windows had been broken and several appliances had been damaged. Maybe that should be "crime for art's sake."

Closer Call: While sitting at a stop sign, a 20-year-old man was approached by a guy who a gun who attempted to rob the driver. As the young motorist pulled away, the gunman fired a round at the car, shattering the driver's side window. The young man escaped injury.
