It was a stakeout at 7th and Montana this morning as "Trigger," the Ace Security Guard who protects Our Favorite Starbucks from all sorts of crime, arrived on the scene like a Man on a Mission. He entered the premises at approximately 8:11 a.m. -- charging through the door facing 7th Street -- and wasted no time getting right down to business. By 8:12, he had ensconced himself in the men's room. He emerged at 8:29, renewed, refreshed and ready for action. Unfortunately, while he was doing his business, so was the Notorious Neighborhood Newspaper Thief. I'm the first to admit that back on September 13, 2007 -- the day Trigger took the reigns from his Octogenarian Predecessor -- I had high hopes. Granted, he seemed a bit "zealous," perhaps a bit too full of himself, but I was certain he'd be tough on crime. Now I just wonder whether he should be relieved of doody ...!
A security guard at Starbucks? Wow what neighborhood do you live in?
