Sisters Sheriff's calls

• A man was reported missing when he walked out of his cabin in McKenzie Canyon on Wednesday, November 14, after his girlfriend of seven years turned down his (third) marriage proposal.

  The couple lives in Corvallis. The man called later that day, telling his girlfriend to drive home, that he was all right and he would see her there.

  When there was no sign of him after three days, the girlfriend called police. They investigated, searching the area around the cabin, inquiring at local motels -- no sign of the jilted man.

  He turned up in Corvallis on Monday, November 19. All is well.

• SOAR reported the theft of $250 in receipts from a candy sale fund-raiser for new basketball jerseys.
  
  
• A driver swerved to avoid a dog and took out some mailboxes. The damage will be made good (but not by the dog).
  
  
• A man contacted a stranger who was standing in his driveway. The stranger said "Hi," and asked how the man was doing. The man thought the stranger was trying to look through his garage windows.

The man got a license number and a deputy tracked the stranger down to find out what he was up to.

The stranger said he was "out meeting new people."

Information in "Sisters sheriff's calls" is taken from reports of the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office.
