police log

remember when i posted the police log from dover? frankly, it pales in comparison to the montpelier police log (except for that one time there was a typo (i think) and the entry read: "resident reports discovering large snack in his basement"), which appears weekly in the times argus. i waited a day for aaron to post this on his own blog, but since he hasn't, i will share it with you.
