Amusing anecdote in the Police Blotter section of my newly adopted home town's paper The Barrie Advance:
A bizarre incident where a man stole a computer from a woman studying at Georgian College has led to numerous charges being laid against a 24-year-old Minesing man. Police learned that the man had broken into the student's residence while she and her roommate were away for the weekend. He removed a computer. Upon their return, the man telephoned to say he was a police officer and had found her computer. He came to the residence and again identified himself as a police officer. The women were suspicious and contacted Barrie Police. It turned out the man had simply stolen the equipment in order to meet the girls. He now faces charges of criminal harassment, impersonating police, possession of stolen property and obstructing police.
