Earlier, I mentioned the story of the rise in thefts of gas from cars. Today, the New York Times has a piece about the rise in thefts of discarded frying oil from restaurants. Things are getting weird out there, my friends. Anyone got anything more bizarre, let us know.

Jason,
Glad you're picked-up on Gas & Fuel Thefts to make the public aware since they already got robbed once by the Oil Cartels why get robbed the second time by sneak thieves.
Maybe a pin map, such as your Homicide map,would be of interest.... if you can keep it up.
Good work
