“...was wearing non-reflective clothing in the bike lane at dusk last night”

“...thought it was a good idea to roll their loud garbage bins out at 9:13pm”

“...is ordering curiously large quantities of packages from a certain ‘online retailer’”

"I didn't even know you could report people for infractions this harmless," she added. "Hats off."
