Welcome To The Second Annual Shoplift With A Cop

For the second year in a row, there’s been a shoplifting arrest at a Shop With a Cop event. I’m hoping this is something we can expect every year, like Christmas and the Darwin Awards. Loss prevention officers at the Wal-Mart on Acton Lane saw a man in a back room cutting open packages of …

If Nothing Else, This Will Prepare Him For A Future Full Of Being Locked Inside Small Spaces

If Brent Jameson Morgan has a day job, let’s hope he holds onto it rather than trying to make a living out of his apparent car theft hobby. RCMP Cpl. Craig Douglass said Monday that Morgan allegedly jumped into the idling Corvette just as the owner was putting away a charger used to revive the …

The Smarter Criminals Will Needle Him For This In Prison

I really think our drug-dealing apartment dweller has moved on. If not, it’s someone just as dumb. Instead of just asking random folk who pass him by, he decided to post flyers in the neighbourhood saying “heroin for sale” complete with his address, phone number, and name! Not surprisingly, the police got very interested and …

Started Off A Witness, Became A Suspect

I’ve heard of other people joining in to rob a place once someone had smashed a window. But I don’t often hear about the ones who join in reporting the initial crime and saying they were witnesses. Well, the ones who called it in have now been arrested, and funnily enough, the first guy is …

The Cuffs On His Wrists Weren’t As Nice As The Watch, But He Needed Them More

We’ve said it many times. there are good times and bad times for robberies. What those are can sometimes be debated since everybody likes slightly different working conditions. But no matter how you feel about either side, it’s hard to make even the flimsiest of arguments in favour of the working habits ofMark Burgin. Burgin, …

A Closed, And Empty, Case

Poor Juan Aguirre. He just can’t get satisfied. I guess he really needed a porn fix, so broke into an adult video store and stole six DVD’s…well, the cases for them, anyway. Seeing the cases on display, I guess he thought those videos would look like good choices. Too bad those were the cases there …

Overly Social Networking

Sorry it’s been so quiet around here this week. I’ve been feeling mostly like garbage, and Carin’s been busy with things much cooler than feeling like garbage. I can tell I’m still not right. If I was, it would be a lot easier than it’s proving to be for me to write about this idiot. …

And They’re Off!…To Jail…And The Hospital…

Just reading what went down in this story has me laughing, because a little movie has started to form in my head of how it might have happened. Come on, the imagination gets working any time a burglary involves a pregnant woman getting stuck in a ventilation system. So let’s set the scene. Two dudes, …

It Wasn’t Hard Before, But Keeping Tabs On Him Will Be Even Easier Now

The world sure is serving me up some easy material today. I certainly am not about to complain. Look what we have here. Yet another fool who figured out a little too late that the monitor part of the phrase court ordered ankle monitor means that the thing the nice officer put on your ankle …
