that's crazy and interesting at the same time. Wasn't anyone from here was it?

I hope they catch the thief and beat him in the head with the bird.

Just got off the Alexander Bell with Benny Holiday and he tells me there are further developments to this story. Police are on the lookout for a 300 pound man wearing a Fez who answers to the name Casper Gutman, he is in the company of a former felon by the name of Wilmer Cook along with a man called Joel Cairo who has no prior convictions. All three men are considered armed and dangerous and the public should at no time approach them.
Police are continuing with their investigations.

Well it wasn't me... we have 2 at the house, one with a smashed beak from the dang cats knocking it off the mantle, and the new one I purchase on e-Bay, to replace smashy-beak... and it couldn't have been Ms. O'Shaughnessy, she is in the slammer. ;)

The hours it went missing is the prime time for extremely drunken patrons to do silly things like swipe things from a bar. The person that did this may not even realize the true value of what they have. Here is to hoping that it is returned or the ghost of Bogey will pull a 'Boogie' man on the swiper.

Wow, that's weird. at first I thought it was some publicity stunt/ gimmick for the bar. But wow. I'm sure it'll turn up soon. Either the theif will sober up or the police can use those cool crime scene investigation methods.

What is perhaps more telling is that the collection of books which was in the case were stolen as well. If I remember correctly, these included some first-edition Hammets (maybe with dust jackets). These are worth a considerable amount of money. Coincidentaly, the Antiquarian Book Fair is being held in San Francisco this weekend.
