The Blotter Thief who aims wayyyyyy low
Posted by Lauren Keating on Fri, Sep 14, 2007 at 12:54 PM
At a food mart on Oakland Drive, a clerk said a man picked up a juice drink worth 25 cents -- and left the store without paying. According to the clerk, this man returned to the store and stole a pack of Now and Laters, worth 10 cents. This time, the clerk called police. Total cost of items allegedly stolen: 35 cents. (The Blotter Diva simply doesn't understand this trend among alleged thieves. If you successfully rob a store the first time, why go back? People might let you slide once, but rarely twice.) The suspect, age 37, was arrested for shoplifting. Again, 35 cents' worth of stuff!

Items in the Blotter are taken from actual Atlanta police reports. The Blotter Diva compiles them and puts them into her own words.
