homestead burglars
Your Daily Losers
"For 60 years, happy diners at the now-shuttered Homestead tacked dollar bills to the walls, dated and inscribed with a line or two to mark the occasion." The Homestead's been closed for a year, but totally preserved inside to maintain its re-sale value, so last week in nearby Bakersfield, Calif., 10 of these distinct bills surfaced when a guy paid a court fine with 'em. Since everybody in town knew exactly where those bills had come from, police knew the Homestead had been burglarized and arrested the guy and his four accomplices. Plus, one of the perps still had distinctive Homestead wall thumbtacks stuck to the bottoms of his shoes. Los Angeles Times
