The following reports were taken from the Boston Police Department Allston-Brighton District D-14 crime logs from April 21 to April 27.
Officers responded to a call for a loud party in Allston at about 4 a.m. April 27. Officers talked to apartment residents and broke up the party. When officers left, they noticed writing on the side of their police car: "I arrest pig communists since they're red," read the message, followed by a smiley face with a line through it. After speaking with witnesses, officers concluded three males dressed in black, one of whom was on a skateboard, wrote the message in black marker. Witnesses said the suspects wrote on the car and ran toward Harvard Avenue.
NOT WATER COOLER MATERIAL

She told police her coworker has called her every day for the past year and a half, telling her he loves her and wants to marry her. She said she told the suspect on several occasions that she is not interested and denied all of the man's proposals.
