SFist Blotter

tilwemeetagain.jpgThe hunter becomes the hunted, when an investigator for the Peninsula Humane Society is herself investigated for running an illegal dog breeding farm and keeping illegal livestock at her Colma house. She claims it's all a setup, that all those golden retrievers and goats are her pets, and that people are invading her privacy.

Darn varmits! A man trying to shoot a raccoon in his San Jose backyard at 11 p.m. Tuesday night not only missed the raccoon, but also just barely missed a 2-month-old baby too (by 18 inches) when the bullet whizzed into his neighbor's bedroom. The shooter's been arrested for "negligent discharge of a firearm."

And your one non-animal-related blotter entry for the day -- A Stanford senior is freaking out after finding out that someone stole her laptop two weeks ago from the gym, with her entire senior thesis (on hip-hop culture in Beijing, for the Cultural Anthropology department) stored on it, along with all her research. She was 30 pages in, with only 10 more to go. (They only have to write 40 page senior theses at Stanford?) Through the power of wireless technology, they traced her computer to the Escondido Village, but then lost the computer. That's all very impressive, but what we're really impressed about is that someone has their senior thesis 75% completed by October 1!

This student must be very industrious, if the thesis was already 75% complete. The theft is a bad luck, I find.

Thank you for sharing this story with me !
