Stillwater Man’s 'Poetic' Musing Apparently Lost in Translation

Police advised a 37-year old Stillwater man to stop writing “poetic” notes to his neighbor, because it was freaking her out.

Police were called to the 300 block of Third Street South this week for a report that a Stillwater woman had received two “alarming notes” in the past month.

The first note — left on her vehicle in February — asked “if she wanted to be part of a 2014 calendar containing photos of girls in their boxer shorts,” the report states. The note also included a phone number.

The woman chalked the note up to being a prank, and didn’t report it to police.

But when she came home during the early-morning hours March 4 she found two Beanie Babies, along with another note containing the same phone number.

The note — this time left within the entry of the secured building — read: “Fast, fun, furry, available 24 hours,” the report states.

Police called the number attached to the notes and left a voicemail.

The owner of the phone, a 37-year-old Stillwater man, eventually returned the officer’s voicemail message, and admitted he left the Beanie Babies and a note, but denied penning the first letter.

He told police the woman had recently moved into the building, and he thought “she may have needed toys for her kids,” the report states.

The man also told police he enjoys writing “poetically,” and had been drinking when he left the note.

Police told the man to stop writing notes, and not have any contact with his neighbor.
