I sure wish there was a way to get a follow up on the police blotter section. Some of the stories leave me highly anxious, wanting to know what happened (like “1:11 p.m. R/P reports that a man in a blue pickup has taken a boy of about 8 who didn’t appear to want to go with him, from a local school.”) and some of them sound like they might make for good entertainment if I knew the whole story (like “10:37 a.m. A man on Windermere Avenue reports that his mother and his wife are threatening him.”)

I bet those 911 operators get curious, too.
