A Fool and His Money

Malloy wins $10,000 in a women's shampoo naming contest and intends to buy a boat despite the rest of the squad suggesting he invest it, avalanches of mail offers, etc. Calls include an elderly male tenant complaining that a new elderly female tenant's Irish music is too loud, and the officers leave them together to "work it out", then a sniper wreaks havoc until he is shot trying to escape in a car, a reported theft turned out to be a broke man whose three wives stripped the expensive house he was in clean except for the stolen items, and a wino is killed by another wino for his new tennis shoes.
