Police are on the lookout for a man who stole forty-nine boxes of Girl Scout cookies from a Remain Street residence late last morning. The culprit knocked on the door of Miss Darlene Ray wearing an orange work vest and claiming to be working with the local gas company. Miss Ray invited him into her residence to check for, as he claimed, a gas leak. Upon going through the back doors to Miss Ray’s deck, the man seized a laundry basket full of the cookies and then took off running.

“If he’d have just waited, I was going to fix him some cookies and milk. I thought he was out on a work order. Our utility workers work so hard. I just like to make their days a little bit easier.”

Miss Ray described the culprit as thin, blonde-haired, twenty-something, and “a real crumb”.

Now on to Bill with the weather. Bill?
