During the past 90 days our members and class attendees have truly gotten into the swing of reporting their most bizarre property room momentos, artifacts and collectibles.  In an effort to keep our publication of the highest quality, the editorial staff has spent a great deal of time in selecting descriptive terms that will be accurate, but still allow us to maintain our professional reputations.  If we have to leave the descriptions a little bit loose in some cases, you will have to fill in the remainder with conjecture, but you are likely to be correct in your assumptions.

The winner was Lieutenant Dennis Chambers from the Twin Falls (ID) Police Department, with an incident that probably could have been placed in the Weird News column just as appropriately.  Booked into evidence after having been found on the bank of a small stream flowing through town was a human scrotum, still containing both of its normal contents.  They were matched to an owner several days later when a transient walked gingerly into a convenience store and asked the owner to call an ambulance.  The transient had decided that the removal was medically necessary, so he walked into the frigid January water, possibly as an anesthesia, and performed the surgery himself, using a rubber band
to "bandage" the wound.

A close second place was earned by Sergeant Frank Bowen, from the Columbus (OH) Airport Authority Public Safety Department.  Recovered from a men's restroom in their facility was, as they described it, a "Rubber (male) sexual device, battery operated." He added that batteries were not included.

Ranking third for this months issue is a bottle of "white lightning" from Murphreboro (TN).  All honorable mentions for this issue all happen to be from California agencies, but only because they are from a recent California class.  In the running until the final cut were Glendora Police Department with rooster feet, Hayward Police Department with a 2,000 year old human skull, and Placerville Police Department with a Barbie in bondage.

Thanks to all who participated.  You are keeping the mark pretty high for future contenders.
