Welcome back to another round of Call Log Diaries, where the calls are real, and the commentary says what we are all thinking. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when wildlife, weirdos, and old school rap collide, this edition is for you. Let’s dive into the most recent chaos!
Oops… Wrong Number, Right Vibes
During a 911 open line call the only sound heard was the song “I got five on it.”
Nothing screams “emergency” quite like accidentally butt-dialing 911 while Luniz is promising to split a dime bag. On the bright side, at least dispatch got a free soundtrack and probably a good chuckle.
Rat Attack
A caller reported her son had picked up an injured rat that was found outside and was subsequently bit. The rat is still alive and contained but appears to have discharge around its mouth. The caller then requested rabies testing.
Rule #1 of nature club: If it’s foaming, leave it roaming.
But you know somewhere, that rat is telling his buddies, “You should’ve seen the other guy.”
Scam Revenge Request
After being the recipient of a scam call, the reporting party wanted deputies to call the scammers back in order to scare them.
Look, I love the idea of outsourcing revenge, but unless the sheriff’s office is starting a new side hustle called “Scam Slayer 911,” this might not make the top of the to-do list. Still, I fully support the concept of a deputy calling up and yelling, “This is Nevada County, NOT your extended car warranty hotline!”
Skunk Dance Battles
A man called in to report ongoing issues with a skunk that was harassing his dog and making nightly attempts to enter his home. The caller said the skunk meets him around the corner of the house and does a “clickty click” dance with his feet.
This could definitely be a Sundance indie film—like a mashup of Fantastic Mr. Fox and a low-budget musical. A tiny, black-and-white tap dancer emerges from the darkness, demanding a dance battle before attempting a little B&E.
And there you have it—another peek into the quirky chaos of Nevada County, where even the rats have drama, the skunks have choreography, and someone’s always ready to weaponize the sheriff’s office for revenge prank calls. It’s a magical place where every day brings a new surprise, and you’re never quite sure if you’re in a small town or a deleted scene from an offbeat indie film.
Until next time:
Stay Safe. Stay Sane. Stay Out of the Call Logs!
