MORE THIEVERY AT 7TH AND MONTANA ...

                             

Tongues were wagging at 7th and Montana this morning as an Artistic Vigilante arrived on the scene with copies of a Homemade Wanted Poster designed to help Authorities nab Our Notorious Neighborhood Newspaper Thief.  "Wanted:  Paper Thief.  Steals the LA and NY Times from Starbucks at 7th and Montana ... Reward," read the Poster-in-Question.  Sadly, it had little effect.  "Look, there goes the Newspaper Thief," cried Amtech Jeff, pointing at a Gentleman who had just poked his head into Our Favorite Starbucks, reached into the Newspaper Bin and snagged a copy of the L.A. Times before our very eyes.  "Nope," I responded, "Wrong thief."  Moments later, the right thief arrived, but he, too, seemed unphased, despite the fact that the Artistic Vigilante even placed a copy of the Wanted Poster in the basket of his Getaway Bike.  As for me, I can't help wondering why Starbucks doesn't do something about this Constant Shoplifting.  Then, again, I guess if they're robbing you blind, you don't care so much about the Daily Newspaper, anymore ...!
