Tipplers the world over have often rationalized that possession of a bottle of champagne is reason enough for a celebration. An alleged shoplifter caught in the act Sunday in the Mission tried to take it a bit further, however.
That alleged thief was caught in the
3300 block of Mission Street with a bottle of champagne. But the hapless man or woman was also caught filching salami and pantyhose. Instant party.
The sex of the alleged shoplifter was not listed on the police report describing the event, and our calls to police have thus far gone unanswered. That he or she was allegedly boosting pantyhose might indicate something -- or not, in this town.
