Best of the blotter
At least somebody wants a Toyota!
That's just one of the highlights looking back at a week of Richard Irwin's Police Blotter feature. Yep, someone actually stole a truck full of Toyotas. Maybe they're planning on taking them in for a bulk recall! And, in keeping with the snow theme, a city gunman found an innovative way to utilize his surrounding.
Read on:

100% interactive security surveillance system would have been the perfect deterrent for this crime.
