Our offenders, buoyed by a little liquid courage, dragged the $12,000 apparatus down the street a couple blocks, making a terrible screeching noise, since the wheel locks were set. They lacked an inch or two of clearance, however, and couldn’t quite pull it into their garage. They were gathering some tools when Officer Lacey Schwochow arrived. These suspects took flight upon, but were quickly rounded up by Officer Schwochow and her colleagues on the Southeast Team.
The marathon, by the way, was huge success. The day was sunny, the temperature cool, and the breeze lights. A huge crowd lined Lincoln’s streets to watch 8,000 runners on a picture perfect Chamber of Commerce day. The Public Works Department expressed their appreciation of Officer Lacey Schwochow’s work:

I have a new theory about the toilet paper bandit.
There must be a bigger underground black market in stolen signs of this type than I'd ever imagined.
Maybe they thought the electronic message boards all over town were more of a traffic problem than the marathon or street construction projects they heralded and were therefore doing a good deed.
I am amazed at the "Dumbing Down" of our criminal society. I recently rented a DVD of the movie IDIOCRACY. Everyone should see it. It is our future.
Gun Nut
Chief, I ran the marathon with my two sons and the traffic control was great! With all the intersection and roads that have to be blocked this must rival a football game. We tried to thank each officer on the route as we ran by. I am sure we missed some, especially towards the end,so I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of them.
Great work LPD SE Team!
When I saw this story, I reflexively thought of this previous post. That's a lot of trouble and manpower just to rob the average law-abiding resident in that area. Risk vs reward, it just didn't click.
8:30pm-
A group of black-dressed ninjas breaking into the home of a single Mom and a baby at 3pm might raise a few suspicions. Apparently it took several of them to steal some cigs and a little cash. They should be easy to spot as the weather gets warmer and makes black ski masks a fashion no-no. Or maybe the victim will just tell the Police their names. My bet is on the latter with the proper line of questioning.

chief, did they say what they were going to do with it.I don't think you could pawn it.
256,
Indeed, that story also reminded me of this woman from a previous home invasion incident.
