Our finest citizens.
First a disclaimer, I recognize that these examples are from this summer, but please know that the paper is full of similar interchangeable stories every week. (Proving, that just like it was back home in Lebanon, the most interesting part of the newspaper is always the police log.)
Being what it is down here (a haven for felons, a warm place to congregate for those who have nothing, a tourist trap), "smash and grab" seems to be the number one offense (unlocked [or locked] cars ... unlocked [or locked] jalousie windows ... unlocked [or locked] screen doors ... etc etc), and all kinds of things get lifted by the criminal element such that I swear there are folks in training out and about.
But this three day spree in nearby Lighthouse Point (in my mind, it was the same couple ... although the facts probably wouldn't support that) has to be my favorite combo ... only made better if the Pepto would have been stolen *after* the porterhouse steak and the deli chicken. (Oh right, the chicken got dropped, yo!)
Can't wait to read today's listings!
