Not mellow about the yellow 

A caller on Sheldrake Road May 9 complained someone painted a large rock at the edge of his property yellow.

Get your own dumpster 

An Ogden Road resident May 10 said someone had dumped things in the caller’s dumpster. The dumped contents were examined and determined to be associated with an address on Olmsted Road.

The caller was advised of this exchange and said they did not wish to pursue the matter but would call back should there be evidence of further dumpster misuse. 

Abandoned by home aide
