Cool - Thanks for posting the link.

I had to laugh and shake my head at the last quote about the man calling 911 just because he wanted to know what time it is in Japan. Gee, Just when we are hearing a lot of different strange "911 stories" out there these days.

Thanks to my friend. He was the one who introduced it to us years ago. We became addicted to it, and post some of the reports that are strange. Unfortunately, he decided to retire from the forum, and some of us took over to keep it active.

It cracked me up when I read the report- the man wanted to know what time it is in Japan. It seems most of the reports occurred on West Main street in Bozeman. I would not want to open my business on West Main street in particular.

I added some of the old reports that occurred this year and last year. Interesting..

* A man reported that two men had come to his home on Blackwood Road around 3:30 p.m., saying they were selling Kirby vacuum cleaners.

"A caller reported her neighbors making loud sounds and yelling, “oh my God.” Upon investigation, the occupants of the apartment said they were excited to see an acquaintance on television."

A report of suspicious activity was made when two males entered a rug shop and told the reporting party that they were male strippers “looking to make some money.”

A woman reported her roommate was being loud and disorderly at 5 a.m. When officers responded, the roommate agreed to go to bed. Officers discovered the woman who reported the incident had a warrant for her arrest. She was taken into custody.

A caller said a man asked to use her home phone, saying he was out of gas. Once he was in her home, he asked to use her bathroom. When done using the bathroom, the man drove away in his car.

A man, who had just arrived here from out of state, called to report his pants had been stolen. While speaking to deputies, he found the pants and canceled his report.

A person in the county attorney’s office accidentally dialed 911.

A woman wanted to call a friend to see what the Arby’s special was. She accidentally called 911 instead.

A caller said a man with a mohawk on Painted Hills Road around 4 p.m. seemed suspicious because he had a GPS in his vehicle.

Police did not find two vacuum cleaner salesmen who a caller said were "acting strange" and were going door-to-door "well after dark."

A caller told a dispatcher that she was driving and that she must have "butt dialed" 911.

I recalled about police blotter on newspaper 5 or 8 years ago. I should have cut it and kept it. The report in Shawnee, KS Laundrymat place, "underwear stolen" . I laughed why people upset that their underwear were stolen.
