Boston Blotter: It's Called a Pooper Scooper. Use It.

carry-on-jeeves.JPGSomeone out there thinks he's too good to pick up his dog's poop. On Saturday night, a woman called the BPD after getting into an altercation with a guy who didn't clean up after his dog. He then

went on to declare that he lives in a home valued above $1 million, and that he was offended at the apparent lack of a Resident Parking Sticker on the victim’s vehicle. Caller states that he then started banging on her window and kicked the tires of her car and challenged her to get out of the car and fight him.

Oh, now we get it! This little tussle happened in District 4, which is listed as South End/Back Bay. So if you are walking your dog in a ritzy neighborhood whether or not you actually live there, you don't have to clean up after your dog.

In the kind of news that with both relieve and terrify parents, Auburn police caught a guy who used craigslist to woo a teenager. The creep asked for a teen housecleaner. The police correctly smelled something funny and discovered that he wanted way more than dusting and vacuuming.

Someone in Somerville should be called the "Hungry Thief." On Monday, said Hungry Thief went on a six-robbery spree, targeting Dunkin' Donuts, Shaw's, and other markets. (WCVB says six robberies, while WBZ says five.) The Hungry Thief was more interested in money than food, but, from the report, it looks as if the last stop was a Walgreens, which suggests the Hungry Thief may have needed Alka-Seltzer.

Unfortunately, the BPD has announced that the body found in Dorchester is indeed that of Warren Daniel Hairston. That part of the mystery is solved, but the BPD is still asking people to call 617-343-4470 or 1-800-494-TIPS if they know anything.

The Coast Guard also found the body of one of the fishermen who went missing off Nantucket. There are still three fishermen somewhere out there, and it isn't clear what caused the boat to go down.
