The Journal seems filled with crime stories that leave me wondering "I can't figure out how they thought they'd get away with that."
The more dramatic one is a fifteen year old's flight Monday from Freeville to Syracuse. He appears to have left the George Agency, stolen a bicycle on Fall Creek Road, used that to get to Gulf Hill Road, stole a car, and took that to Syracuse. Syracuse police found the car and the resident, and arrested him. He's back at the George Agency for the time being.
Stealing checks, forging them, and depositing them in your account, though, probably gives the police better evidence than leaving a driver's license at the scene of a theft.
