A night at home turned into a terrifying one for a local woman who caught sight of her ex-landlord. The woman called police distressed, telling the operator that she saw him driving up and down the street in a silent hybrid. According to the caller, this wasn’t the first time, either—the ex-landlord was apparently intent on holding onto a bit too much control, following the woman to each of her new residences. Worst of all was that, according to the caller, the man would leave her notes, too, unaware that a simple hello would do just fine.

Maybe it was the result of some residual hangover from a long night of partying, but a pair of robbers got a bit sloppy early Monday morning. The pair had their mark in mind (a market on Pioneer Boulevard) but grew reckless when they broke into the place, tying an ATM to their minivan and ripping the thing straight from the store. Not only did the duo get caught by the market’s surveillance camera, but they were also seen literally pulling the ATM along as they made their not-so-smooth getaway.
