A birdie sends in the following:
la taza was broken into last night.a substantial amount of cash was taken from a secret hiding place ….or not so secret it would seem. This is 100 kosher information.
We didn’t do any journalism, so its just a rumor. But, it is from a reliable source, so we think it’s true.

Robbing a store on Barracks Road seems like the worst idea ever. Doing it at 1PM seems like an even dumber idea.
A 6ft+ 250 pound white male pulled a knife at the Barracks Road location of Greenberry’s, demanded cash and escaped on foot. There were witnesses, obviously, because this is the worst place to rob, ever.
