The R Thief.

Posted by Alex in Crime & Law on July 22, 2006 at 12:13 am


There’s a thief in Greencastle, Indiana, that’s obsessed with the letter R:

A consonant-loving thief has police and business owners baffled after dozens of Rs were stolen from signs around the community. "We’ve lost our Rs. And we want them back," said Randall Jones, president of Headley Hardware.

The weekend caper targeted gas stations, restaurants, repair shops and medical offices in the city of 10,000 people about 40 miles west of Indianapolis.

Here’s the kicker:

The thief also nabbed half a dozen letters from a lighted marquee in front of a National Guard post.

    After getting a whole lot of unwanted attention from the internet's vast multitude of information junkies, the thieves (presumably pirates) returned the booty thursday morning.

    What is truly amazing is one of the thieves was a member of the Indiana Air Guard.
