Thief of the week: Jan. 9 - 13

And now, because this is a new year and all, I have decided to add a new feature to Borough Blue: Thief of the Week!

The idea is to spotlight a crime from the past week's blog posts that deserves a second look. If you have one in mind, feel free to comment here or shoot an email to boroughblue@boroughblue.com. Meanwhile, enjoy the inaugural installment!

• THEFT: Bottle of booze
• WHEN TAKEN: 9:55 p.m. Dec. 30
• WHERE TAKEN: State liquor store, 1100 block of Woodland Road, Wyomissing
• HOW: In a pair of pants
• SUSPECT: A man who wasn't 21
• PUNISHMENT: The store didn't press charges; police cited him for underage possession
• POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES: Boozeless pants, showing up to a party empty-handed, a night of sobriety
