We knew Evanston had a seedy side but never knew how truly weird it could be. The crime blotter for the weekend featured the typical stolen bikes and graffiti but some true gems can be found in the list of burglaries. One person was accused of stealing prune juice and a bottle of Snapple from a local grocery store but some thieves have much more elaborate tastes. One group tried to take five bottles of vodka and one bottle of tequila from a grocery store yesterday which seems just plain strange. How did they expect to steal that much booze without getting caught? Another robber tried to be a bit less conspicuous but ended up just winning the award for the most bizarre combo of items: rolls, doughnuts, vodka, and chicken tenders. Obviously these are all the ingredients for a fantastic Saturday night. None of these thefts can top the adult tricycle stolen on Monday. Even more confusing than the fact that somebody owns an adult tricycle is the fact that somebody would expect to steal an adult tricycle conspiculously.
