If the officer had any gumption, they would have contacted residents of the building and found the owner of the onions, returned the onions, and then arrested the person for stealing a shopping cart from the store.
Another fantastic Police Report Illustrated! What a weird place we live in. Thanks Callan for sharing what goes on each week on the Street and with the SPD
And Seattle Illustrated just keeps on getting crazier!
Why do I hear Seal (ca. 1994) right about now...? "...and you can never-ever surVIVE..un-less...you get a little...CRA-zy..." Must be from my AIS days......
Dear Officers,
If something is left unsecured on public property (such as a sidewalk) it's considered ABANDONED, and therefore CAN NOT BE DEEMED "STOLEN".

She'd need evidence that he was the one to take the cart from the store, wouldn't she?
When we have cops returning stolen bags of onions?
But let them eat the sweet peas if they're taking stuff. They're toxic. You mean snap or snow peas?

Unrelated, but I don't care for the new commenting system that doesn't allow you to look at the column and the comments at the same time.
