Blotter: Man reports theft, mischievous acts

He said he had visited his girlfriend Saturday, and upon returning, he noticed the door to his apartment wouldn't open.

The man said he walked around to the back of his apartment and found the window broken, so he climbed through the window. Once inside, he found a metal device locking the door from the inside, according to the report.

He said a game console he checked out from a university along with its controllers and a game were missing as well as $70 from his wallet. The man also said a large bag of dog food had been poured into the toilet bowl, according to the report.
