St. John’s Lutheran Church on Morganford has been robbed again, the fourth time in two weeks and the 12th time over the last two years. This time the thieves ran off with a safe, some cash, a bunch of presents, and food bank gifts.

Someone Is Stealing Your Amazon Shipments

 Posted on December 20, 2012  |  The Editor

The St. Louis Police Department wants to take a moment to remind you that you live in a city so crime-ridden that you can’t even leave packages on your doorstep anymore without them being stolen. In fact, if you see a package on your doorstep, don’t go get it! It’s a probably a trap. When you open it a guy will pop out and stab you. Sure that box looked like it only had a single book it in, but that’s just what they wanted you to think. [Read More]

 Posted on August 7, 2012  |  The Editor

The car of Jerry Lee, the Director of the Missouri Department of Public Safety, was robbed burglarized Sunday morning in Forest Park, netting the thieve one gun, two Department of Public Safety badges and a GPS unit.

Lee, 64, was parked at the Art Museum between 9:45 and 10:45 a. [Read More]

Stealing and Trading 2,000 Mice for Heroin is Harder Than You’d Think

 Posted on June 28, 2012  |  The Editor

Dustin Mass and Matt Haney of St. Charles needed some heroin the other day at 3am, and you can clearly tell from the mugshots above these two dudes are in to heroin. Heroin is a killer, but first it forces you to get a cheap haircut and makes you think that stupid facial hair decisions are awesome ideas you should stick with. Scary stuff. Anyway, what’s the plan? Maybe you wander down by the neighborhood Red Roof Inn and see what’s the see (by “see” we mean “steal”). [Read More]

St. Louis to Replace Metal Street Signs With Cheaper Plastic Ones

 Posted on May 30, 2012  |  The Editor

Apparently St. Louis has a major issue with people stealing street signs. One theory is people are stealing the metal signs to sell to scrap metal dealers, while our theory is that people are stealing them to put under their shirts for cheap bullet-proof vests. Either way it’s a problem. St. Louis City Streets Department Director Todd Waelterman says with the economy already straining budgets, sign replacement is becoming a problem. [Read More]

Impatient Bank Robber is Impatient

 Posted on May 23, 2012  |  The Editor

A woman robbed a Commerce Bank in Richmond Heights Tuesday morning…well kinda…not really actually. She ended up taking her note and giving up before she took any money. Turns out that’s just enough to get the cops all mad at you though. The suspect handed a note to the teller indicating she had a gun and demanding money. Apparently she then became impatient because shortly after giving the teller the note, she retrieved her note and left the bank without any money. [Read More]
