The past six months have seen youth , stand and to passing motorists and have the through it.

Add to the mix: dump a plastic Frosty the Snowman and Christmas decorations.

A Brookfield police officer on patrol New Year's afternoon found the holiday decorations in the roundabout. Just three hours prior, a San Marcos Drive homeowner had called police to say her four-foot-tall, lighted, hard plastic Frosty was stolen, but when shown the one found in the roundabout, she said it wasn't her snowman. (Another from Patricia Lane Dec. 16.)

• Someone used a marijuana leaf stencil to spray paint green graffiti on a garage, driveway and road sign in the 4300 block of North 162nd Street and 15800 block of Brentwood Drive. The leaves were painted sometime between New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
