100 Word Story – Police Blotter – Ducks
Happy Wednesday! Here’s yet another 100 Word Story based on an item in the police blotter of my hometown of Burlingame, CA. The actual blotter item as well as a link to the original page it was found on are below the story. Enjoy and be sure to tell a friend!
Ducks
By Grant Baciocco
Officer Roberts was about to get back into his patrol car when he felt a tug at his pants leg. Looking down he saw a brown duck looking up at him.
Officer Roberts looked at the duck, wondering if it had, in fact just tugged on his pants. The duck looked up and, gesturing with her wing, pointed to the far side of the busy street. Officer Roberts was then startled to see six ducklings appear and join their mother in pointing across the street. Smiling, he nodded and stepped out into the street and stopped traffic for the ducks.

100 Word Story – Police Blotter – Trespassers
Now THIS is exactly the kind of police blotter reporting I absolutely love that gets reported in the Burlingame Police Blotter. Pure perfection. Enjoy!
Tresspassers
By Grant Baciocco
“How dare they!”
“The nerve. The absolute nerve!”
“Don’t they know this is our parking lot? Who do they think they are?!”
“Go say something!”
“I’m not going anywhere near them. Disgusting!”
“We need to get to our car.”
“We’ll wait them out.”
“But they’re eating, they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.”
“I tell you Agnes, this neighborhood is going downhill fast. When there’s an absolute disregard for public property, that’s the first sign of the fall.”
“I’m calling the police!
“I thought you called them when you saw them walking by earlier.”
“I did. But I’m calling them again!”

I’ve been thinking a lot about the police blotter stories I’ve written and posted here and I think the new goal with them is to get to where I’ve written 100 of them and then collect them all into a book tentatively titled: 100, 100 Word Crimes in Burlingame. Or something. I’ll try and find a publisher for it and, if not, just release it myself.
One of these days, I’ll have to go through and see how many I have. I don’t think I’m at 100 yet. May not even be over 50, but it’s a fun goal to work towards.

How many times has this happened to you?
You head out on an overnight camping trip with your buddies. You’ve got your tent, your sleeping bag, your fishing pole, a change of clothes and cooler full of food and beer.
You set up camp, but as the sun sets you realize, you forget to bring a flashlight!
There’s no need to fear, as long as that’s a six-pack of Schlemer’s in your cooler! Each can of Schlemer’s comes with a flashlight built into the bottom of the can!
Don’t stay in the dark! Drink Schlemers!
Please remember, drink responsibly!

First Down
By Grant Baciocco
“But I told you mom, I don’t want to play.” Sarah yelled, trying to get out of the kitchen door.
“You’re a Kimball! And Kimball’s play football!” Stephanie yelled at her daughter. “Now throw me that ball.”
“We are in the house!” Sarah replied, nervously holding the football in her hands. “You can’t play ball in the house.”
“My house. My rules. Now throw it to me.”
“No!” Sarah yelled, “This is silly!”
“Twenty four! Fifty two” Stephanie yelled.
“No! Mom!” Sarah began to panic.
“Hut! Hut!” Stephanie grunted loudly.
“Mom, please!”
“Hike!”
Sarah screamed as her mother charged her.
