Here’s a revealing police log
Here’s a revealing police log entry:
[block in a student area], 11:24 p.m. Tuesday. Room entered through a hole in the upper part of the wall; two guitars, an amplifier and computer taken.
Without knowing anything else about this crime, we can make a few educated guesses:
- The guitar owners were not the owners of the building.
- The owners of the building were supposed to fix the hole in the upper part of the wall.
- Many students in Ann Arbor live in unsafe, substandard housing conditions.
Of course, there could be some reasonable explanation for this, but housing with non-intact walls isn’t out of the range of the A2 renting experience. And does anyone think it’s strange that The Ann Arbor News lists “Break-Ins” in a separate area from the rest of the police log, as if the city has completely given up?
On the “Hieftje” pronunciation front: we’ve got one vote for “HEEF-tuh” and one for “HEEF-juh.”
