#1 Sounds like the neighbors complained, and the cops obliged, but found nothing.

Of course there's NO apologies,"We were just doing our duty". (And oping for action, Ummm nothing here)

As far as the neighbors, ((Unnamed, of course.) They've gotten off scot free.

And it'll happen again, and again, until the cops give up, SUE there's reason.

#3 Day late, dollar short, off topic, factually challenged... story of my life. Fair warning.

When first I came to Gotham
In the year two thousand nine
I used to like to cook a lot
And my meals were mighty fine
But the keyhole kops got nosey
And they soon gave me a swat
I was charged with being the owner
Of a stainless pressure pot

Oh next morning down by Chambers Street
I caused no little stir
The IRS were busy
And the nonesuch eggs concurred
Said the judge "I never could charge you
With the waving of the green,
But you can bet your ass I'll charge you
With the possession of this machine"

Now says I "Hey, Judgie-Wudgie,
If you'll give me half a chance,
I'll show you how me small machine
Can make the split-peas dance
It cooks away politely
Till you get an awful swat
As it softens up the legumes
In me stainless pressure pot"

Said the judge "This paper here, my man,
Is a super-secret writ
For you and all your Bill of Rights
I do not give a s---
But I think I'll let you off this once
Next time you vill be shot
If you're ever again caught cooking
With a stainless pressure pot"

Now this stylish urban kitchen
Is a less efficient place
I often burn me kidney beans
And dinner's often late
Sure I'd long ago have said me grace
If I had only got
A couple of pounds of musical fruit
And me stainless pressure pot
