Here's the story I wish I was working on today. It's in Orange County, so I leave it to the folks at the Register. I'll link to their story when it shows up on the Web.

Here's what we got from the wire service:

A Westminster man has been arrested on suspicion of theft for allegedly stealing
outdoor holiday decorations from about 16 of his neighbors.

Westminster police Officer Cameron Knauerhaze says Vuong Pham, 48, was arrested when police were called to his home in response to a disturbance and saw an unusual number of decorations inside and in the backyard.

Investigators said that there had been many reports of theft in the area of
Newland Street and Heil Avenue, which borders Westminster and
Huntington Beach, Knauerhaze said.
