To Catch a Holiday Thief
What's yours is mine, even that tree!
Stumped!
Something was missing last Wednesday morning in the front yard of Corvalllis, Oregon's Mary Moran. She woke up to find a stump where her family's long-needled pine had stood; the tree was hacked down and stolen in the night.
The Associated Press reported the tree to be 15 to 20 feet high, and an arborist valued it at $1,500. Moran's family had decorated the tree for the holidays for the last 10 years, but now, she says, "I'm probably going to string the lights around the base of it and just light the base."
Oh, Michael, you should at least take the tags off!
According to AP, the Montana Wreaths and Pink Grizzly Christmas Store reported a burglary when the shop owner saw neighbor Michael Allard toting away a cart filled with wreath-making supplies. A sheriff's deputy also found two Pink Grizzly trees in Allard's yard, adorned with only the price tags. Allard maintains that a friend gave him the trees, that he thought the items he took were abandoned near the business, and that he didn't break into the store.
A piece of cake
Reuters reports that a mugger stole a woman's cake last Tuesday as she walked along the street in Krasnoyarsk, Russia. He took the cake then asked her to call the cops so he could go back to prison. In fact, the man was recently released after a 12-year sentence, and now cake-stealing charges with a potential three-year sentence are pending.
