Forest Grove Police Log excerpt, 24 October 2018

This week's selection from the log of local police activity brings us a tale of suspicious trousers.

Oct. 12* A caller reported finding, along the side of the road, a nice pair of trousers that contained a sprinkler part. Police received no reports of stolen parts or pants.

I've never thought I'd encounter a nice pair of pants on the side of the road. However, if I did, I doubt there would be a sprinkler part in the pocket, or that I would investigate to find out if there were. I certainly wouldn't call the police about them.
