It is one of the world's greatest ironies that those employees tasked with guarding the most expensive equipment are those least able to, uh, enforce the law.
It's that time again. The Hurst Police Department has released its weekly Crime Updates for both businesses and residences within the city. The following crimes were reported between Sunday 1/13/2008 and Saturday 1/19/2008:
Least back-bone-having employee award
At 10:15am on Thursday, at a computer-selling store on 1700 Precinct Line Road, a suspect placed a computer in a shopping cart and walked out the front doors. When an employee asked to see receipt, the suspect said she didn't have one and continued walking out. (Suspect: Black Female, average build, hair in ponytail, yellow t-shirt, blue jeans. Suspect Vehicle: Maroon vehicle, possibly a Toyota Camry).
Beer, knives and guns
Sometime on Monday at 11:35pm, a man entered a convenience store located at 600 W Pipeline Road, grabbed some beer and fled with glee. (Suspect: White Male, 18-21 yoa, 5’08”, 135 lbs, brown hair, zip-up hoodie with a white t-shirt with words on the front, plaid shorts. Suspect Vehicle: Brown Toyota Camry.)
A maltese pup (not the one in question). Saddening news, but at least this dog wasn't stolen by a mother as a Christmas gift?
Meanwhile, a convenience store at 700 Brown Trail was also the scene of a theft, as its glass door was shattered with a rock sometime on Thursday around 3:00 a.m. The unseen suspect swiped the most logical of items: a gun, cigarettes, money and knives.
Purloined pup
Meanwhile, a Maltese dog was taken from a back yard of a home near 700 W Redbud Drive, sometime between 1:30 p.m. and 2:40 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. (Suspect: White Female, 20-25 yoa, 5’05” – 5’07”, 115-125 lbs, blonde hair. Suspect Vehicle: Dark green 1990’s model Ford Explorer SUV).

Akira Sato Jazz trumpeter Akira Sato, by way of Tokyo, Japan and Vancouver, Canada, is an SMU faculty member and director of The Meadow Jazz Orchestra at SMU. He is also an adjunct faculty member at UNT where he teaches jazz arranging. Sato is also heading into the studio soon with other area musicians and playing at the Scat Jazz Lounge tonight. With all that he's up to, the least you could do is order a Scotch on the rocks and chill to some tunes. (Photo by flickr user arteunporro. More info

We don't know that it wasn't stolen by a mother as a Christmas gift; maybe this woman just thinks way far ahead.

Also, this was an incredibly exciting headline until I realized that "bear" was supposed to be "beer".

Holy crap, that really would have been awesome. Headline changed, imagination deflated.

Seems like the bear would have eaten the puppies long before the thieves arrived.
