With friends like this, who needs criminals; sweet love goes sour; and, pit bulls aren't fans of when friends pop in.

I miss you ... and my electronics
7: 51 p.m. – 400 Block of South Atlantic Avenue. Theft. The victim told police he was on vacation and had been staying at a motel with the suspect since they met a few days ago. They decided to go to the Daytona Beach Pier and, after a while, the suspect said he had to go meet a friend. He told the victim to meet him at another location in half an hour.
After waiting an hour, the victim returned to the motel where he discovered several of his possessions missing, including a $500 laptop, an $599 iPad and a $50 router. The desk clerk said no one from the motel had been in the room. The victim said he wanted to press charges if the suspect is located.

Talk about a 'sticky' situation!
3:52 p.m. – 500 Block of McIntosh Road. Vandalism. The victim said she tried to fill the gas tank of her car but something was stopping the gas from entering the tank. She removed the nozzle and noticed tiny white crystals around the cap area.
She suspects that her ex-boyfriend poured sugar in the tank to cause damage.
The victim said she recently broke up with him after five years and he has been harassing her in a variety of ways, such as banging on her window at 11:30 p.m. She told him to stay away but he has been seen walking in front of her house where her car is parked. The officer told her to report back after the car has been checked for damage.

Guard dogs don't like company
9:37 p.m. – 100 Block of Colina Place. A neighbor called the police after seeing a suspicious individual attempting to open a window of a nearby home. The officer examined that area of the house and did not find any fingerprints or smudge marks on the “very dirty” windows. But at the back of the house, two windows were wide open.
As the officer checked a window, three unsecured pit bulls ran toward the window and jumped at the officer. The officer quickly closed the window. Numerous items of value were in plain view in the house. A neighbor said the house's power had been turned off, so the windows may have been left open on purpose. The resident of the house was contacted by phone at his place of work and he said he would call police later if anything is missing from the house.
