One man's trash is another man's $140
8:27 a.m. — First Block of Beach Street. Found property. A city employee found “a folded stack of money,” totaling $140, in the City Hall parking lot when she was leaving work, according reports.
The employee told police she collected the money and kept it at City Hall until her next workday, to see if anyone would claim it, which no one did.
According to the report, the employee then turned the money over to police and it was placed into evidence for safekeeping.

It's 5 o'clock 'daycare'
5:15 p.m. — 200 Block of Hernandez Avenue. Suspicious vehicle. A man sat in a car, in front of a daycare, drinking Busch Light, while parents picked up the kids at the end of the day.
After being approached by an Ormond Beach police officer, the man admitted that he comes to the location on a regular basis to make cell phone calls. He knew the daycare was there, he said, but “just likes to park there.”
According to the officer's report, the man had already finished one beer and “was working on his second,” and he couldn’t “provide any further explanation why he was drinking beer and watching the children.”
The man consented to a field-sobriety examination, performed well, and was given a citation for an open container.
