At 9:52 a.m., a woman came into the station to report that she’d had an irrigation system installed and it wasn’t working properly. She said she had already paid for the work and couldn’t get the company to answer her calls.

She was advised to consult an attorney to find whether there was any further action that could be taken.

At 11:05 a.m., a man reported his GPS unit had been stolen and his glovebox rifled through two night ago.
