Most reports to local police departments are standard fare: car break-ins, residential burglaries and suspicious behavior. But occasionally, these reports — some of which we feature in our "On record" blotter in the Local section — cross the line into the absurd.
Here are a few from 2008 that made us laugh out loud, raise our eyebrows or shake our heads.
Suspicious activity: A man reported July 16 that someone entered his home in Blaine and taped a sink nozzle so that it would spray him when he turned on the water.
Loud music: An Oakdale man called 911 about 1 a.m. Nov. 3 to report loud and disturbing music coming from a neighbor's garage. The caller said his neighbor's garage door was partially open and she was using a karaoke machine to sing George Michael songs. Police advised the 30-year-old woman to stop.

I saw that first one on AFV.
Advised to stop? Anyone singing George Michael songs at 1 AM deserves to be arrested!
that ought to be a felony.
I did the first one to my room-mate once. Hint to anyone looking to repeat... If the nozzle is black plastic (as ours was) then black electrical tape is just about invisible. ;-) For chrome ones, well, maybe regular semi-transparent tape?
Gets them every single time.

I have to say this. Once is funny. Repeat is lame.
Originality is the key to pranks.
