Best Police Report Typo Ever? Mike Gavrilis Probably Meant 'Virginia'

Police Report Typo Virginia Vagina

First Posted: 02/25/13 EST Updated: 02/25/13 EST

Looks like Myrtle Beach Police Department will have to penetrate deep into Virginia to find editors for its cops.

South Carolina officer Mike Gavrilis responded to a Sunday report of theft from a motor vehicle, but his write-up of the incident -- obtained by The Smoking Gun -- suggests he had more than justice on his mind.

From the report:

Victim 1 stated, he opened the door and searched the vehicle and noticed Victim 2's purse had been stolen. The vehicle, bearing a vagina tag (WZY1047) was a black in color Chevy Silverado.

While this is the best error in a police report that we've seen, it's by no means the only hilarious misprint of the past year.

A sign prominently displayed at a southern Pennsylvania high school in September was intended to promote public education, but that's not what it ended up saying.

In May, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review gave some unintentionally horrible advice alongside an article about bikinis.

What do you expect when all you need to be a C O P is a GED?!

Some how or another, I just knew when I read the headline that this would be a sex reference. Sigh. I wish, just once, something could be "the funniest" or "the best", or "the greatest" because it was genuinely clever, or witty or funny.....not because it had some junior high school 12 yr old juvenile reporter who is stands there pointing and saying "he said vagina! he said vagina!!" Teee-heeeeee.

Years ago I recieved a Loud Exhaust citation in North Myrtle Beach during Bike Week. No db meter test or probing my Harley Pipes to see if I had baffles. Just the opinion of the Female Officer without any evidence. Although I was fuming, I did not say a word during the $208.00 citation process.

Later back at my Hotel I reviewed the citation and discovered it was Written for a Harley-Davidson "Automobile". Needless to say the next day I went to see the Chief of Police about my "Automobile" citation and he realized his Officer might be embarrassed in the City Court if I returned for a Court Hearing a month later.

All was resolved and I headed back to Virginia.
