Well, it’s raining

But that’s no reason we can’t cozy up to some stories from Greenville’s finest…criminals:

Brilliant? Not so much. At least not the person who stole copper materials from a heating and air conditioning unit. From a law firm on Stone Avenue. See you in court smartypants.

Just call him hyper-thief. The one who broke into a Mercury SUV at a local hotel and snagged a 12-pack of energy drinks. Should give him plenty of awake time to enjoy the new GPS unit, Ipod, Sony radio and digital camera, which were also stolen from the vehicle.

This thief must have style. Style they have to keep up. Perhaps stare at lovingly from time to time. Why else would they break into a home and steal only a three-foot mirror?

Seriously bad luck. This auto break-in victim had the window of a Taurus broken during a previous incident. The car’s owner taped up the window, but after returning to the parking lot of an area Bi-Lo store last week they found the taped window removed and jewelry and clothing were missing.

This thief is warm, so warm. Thanks to the three coats they got from a Chevy Caprice Classic.

A whole new meaning for “I’ll take that to go please.” A thief sneaked through the side door usually reserved for to-go orders at Outback Steakhouse. They tried the cash register first, but no luck. They settled for a wallet and other items from beneath the counter.

Forget Texas tea. Greenville’s got drillers of a different kind. Ones who go after quarters. With hand drills. Several incidents last week involved thieves breaking into laundry facilities, drilling through the quarter keepers and making away with the coins.
