Top Oddblotter Stories of 2007, 10 Thru 8

062007_onions.jpgBostonist is looking back on the year in weird, silly, or just plain creative crimes. We'll be counting down the top 10 over the next few days so you can find out just how wild it gets around here. Today's list includes produce, assault-inducing donuts, and Big Lebowski references galore.

10. Making the Onions Grow. The Northeastern Crime Blotter is chock-full of youthful indiscretions, and one young man peed all over a stack of onions at the Symphony Market. Yet the manager forgave the student and didn't file charges.

110607-walter-sobchak.gif9. Give Me Dunkies or Give Me a Crowbar. This Oddblotter entry was so special we had to import it from Providence. A woman got her daily Dunkies fix at a Drive-Thru window and paused to savor it. When the woman behind her honked, the Dunkies Addict didn't like being interrupted--so she got out of the car and threatened the honker with a crowbar. Not only that, but the assault was the woman's second at a Dunkies Drive-Thru.

8. A Sobchak Moment. Some bowlers at the Lanes and Games in Cambridge weren’t happy when management kicked them out for rowdiness. They came back and beat on four employees, only to escape the long arm of the law. Too bad a Dude-like figure wasn't there to talk them down.

All charges alleged until proven under law.
