I watched too much coverage of that today on CNN, HLN, Fox news and other channels. All while trying to stay awake all night and all day.
That constant coverage about put me in a coma.

Default I'm a victim!

DAMN!
Two times in the last 2 weeks.
It didn't bother me so much when it happened on a Tuesday.
But my Sunday paper getting snatched is killing me.

Whomever did it is in for a surprise the next couple of days because I work nights and will be wide awake and ready when it gets there next time.
I'm calling the Review Journal on Monday to find out what time it's supposed to get here.
I'm gonna ask for the drivers cell # and ask him to call when he's close.
I'm either gonna put an old paper out there with some fresh CAT POOP, or I'm gonna confront whomever it is.

This sheet has to stop before it gets worse.
You should see where I live....almost smack against a mountain.
Black Mountain to be exact.
There are NO cars out ever....no stores...nobody walking...if you make your way to my house, clearly you live in the area.
So it looks like I'm gonna have a problem with a neighbor I see.

Here we go.....

I'm guessing your paper is not being delivered rather than stolen.

Put out a couple of old papers to make it look like the big sunday edition. Then hide nearby to catch who is doing it, IF it is being delivered. Take their picture. Scare the crap out of them. Probably a crazed couponer next door. Tell them if they want your paper so bad, then they need to pay the bill! Or better yet, buy their own subscription.

Do what Joe Pesci did when he caught his neighbor stealing the paper..

Spoiler
stuff the coupons down their throat, stab them with a pen, use the rest of the paper to soak up the blood

Wait, people still actually get their news from that quaint wood product? (Just kidding).

But seriously, we used to have a great newspaper here with both morning and evening editions but over the years they've shrunk from a hefty bundle to a handful of pages that could be mistaken for a junk mail flyer. They are probably just a dozen years from being completely obsolete. The owner also owns a local tv station so they just combined the newspaper with the station's website. By the time it's in print it's old news.
