Hello Tiffy!

I grew up in a little town called Novato and they have some really good Police Blotters… usually they are so hilarious because not many things go on there so the things they mention are normally pretty minor but these are my favorite that I have seen in a while. Now honestly I have to say this will make Novato sound really bad, and ghetto, and stupid… but they are all from the Novato Advance paper. I really can’t believe how good some of these are…..
