Free Clothes/Maple Leaf/Fri Aug 25/4:30â5:45 am: Officer Johnson reports: "All items are purchased from Victoria's Secret: [5] Bras, different colors. Valued @ $250.00. [8] G-strings, different colors, some with lace design. Valued @ $160.00.
The victim reported that at the indicated date, time frame, and location, her listed clothing items were misappropriated. They are all intimate, underwear-type items from Victoria's Secret. They were removed from the victim's dresser drawer and from her worn-to-be-washed basket, all of which is located in the victim's bedroom. The incident appears to be sexually motivated, as no other items appear to be missing from the victim's residence."
Free Art/Ballard/Sun Aug 20/5 pm: Officer Marlow reports: "Item #1: Photocopies of pictures showing the suspect. Placed into SPD evidence.
I contacted the witness, who is a manager at a glass studio. She stated that at approximately 1800 hours, August 20, the suspect had come into the business and was looking around the back room. Suspect was found in an employee area and was told to leave.
The next day, August 21, the witness arrived at work at approximately 0800 and noticed the back sliding door was completely open. The witness also noticed two vases were missing from inside the business. She told her supervisor, who found the suspect on video inside the store earlier that morning.
The witness stated she had seen the suspect inside the business on several occasions. She stated he never purchases anything, but always looks like he's going to steal something. She said he usually has a bb hat on, with big soft headphones around his neck."
Free Food/Columbia City/Fri Aug 25/4:50 am: Officer Davisson reports: "Two Polaroid photos taken of the eaten burrito and partially consumed fountain drink soda taken by Officer Davisson, packaged and submitted to the photo lab by the same.
Suspect [female, 24] entered the store, selected and heated up a burrito, filled up a 22-ounce fountain soda, and proceeded to eat the burrito and drink the soda. The witness began cleaning the floors while waiting for the suspect. Suspect started to walk out the front door at which time the witness confronted her and told her she needed to pay for the burrito and soda. She told him that she did not have any money, so he told her that he was calling the police. Suspect went to the beer aisle and took two bottles of beer. She proceeded toward the front door with bottles of beer under each arm. Witness feared she was going to assault him with the bottles, so he fled the store. She did not make any statements or threats to him when she had the bottles of beer under her arms."
When a person, such as the suspect in this report, walks into a grocery store and eats, without paying, whatever he/she pulls from the shelves, he/she is in essence expressing a universal desire for utopia. Higher than free clothing and art, free food stands as the mark of a future societyâthat, since the age of reason, has seemed just around the corner, but no matter what scientific innovation, what technological breakthrough, what revolution (green or industrial) continues to maintain its frustratingly close distance (just around the corner)âutopia, the ultimate state of human happiness.
