I'm guessing these kids will be back to hit other Downtown businesses very soon.
The Police Department should be watching the alleys tonight and the next few nights.

there is an APB out on an old lady who apparently loves crafts.
What kind of demented idiot breaks into a fabric store and a yarn barn. And the only place that could possibly have some cool sh!t, Au Marche, they didn't even take anything?

Aren't all these businesses locally owned? Is it just someone trying to get rid of locally owned businesses to replace them with corp stores.

I'm thinking this probably wasn't about money. Of all those stores downtown those four are probably ones that don't pull in a whole lot of money. And they don't have a whole lot of items that could be easily fenced. Bolts of cloth, bundles of yarn, a spinning wheel maybe, European food items, kitchen items - don't see a huge black market for those type of things.
