Theft Diary Memo

Monday, May 1, 2017 at 12:06 I was dispatched to a theft call at 1812 Guise St. (ADU behind the house). This is the same residence we had a prior DV arrest.
I arrived on scene and spoke to the owner of the house Stephen Grimes, who was there getting ready to have the house fixed up and put up for sale. He advised me that the RP was not here yet. He said that the occupants had already vacated the ADU that previous evening and he did not have a forwarding address for them.

I asked if she could screen shot it to me, she said she can’t get the message because Michael broke her phone the night he was arrested, and she had to get a new one.
She went on to say that that she would give all the stuff back even though it means she will sleep on the floor with the children. She said the family has made her life miserable. She said she will leave the stuff at the curb in front of her place at 201 Pine Drive, Cape George at 06:00 in the morning. I advised that was not a good idea and she said she did not care, and that it might even be taken by the garbage truck. I advised her that would get her in trouble too though. She said she wanted to be done with
