Colorado - My 19 year old son lives alone in his own apartment in Arvada, Colorado. Two week-ends ago he was out of town for the week-end. When he got home, there was a note on his desk with a business card from an Arvada police officer saying that one of his neighbors had called police because my son's apartment door was standing wide open. The note went on to say that the officer checked the apartment and saw no evidence of burglary or anything out of place, but he noticed illegal fireworks in the living room (a package of Roman candles) and asked my son to call him to discuss it. My son did not call him.
This morning the police officer returned to my son's apartment, apparently to discuss the fireworks. When he entered the apartment he saw some street signs that my son had found laying in the road and brought home. The officer told my son he was going to give him a break on the fireworks but he issued him a petty theft ticket for the street signs.
My son has no previous record of any kind and I really hate for something as stupid as this to put a stain on his record. The whole thing just seems kind of odd anyhow. I would very much appreciate any comments, suggestions, advice, etc.
Thanks in advance.
