too much typing—since 2003

savings are big when you rob the pig!

This one Rose caught: Earlier editions of this article (fourth entry down) read as follows:

The victim was walking in the 2200 block of W. Mitchell St. about 9:25 p.m. last night when he first noticed the men in a grey Chevy Impala. He was soon approached by the men, who demanded his values and began to strike him...

Rose thinks it might be "some zany religious nuts"; my theory is they're testing to see whether potential victims have any values. Or perhaps they're missing their own and are hoping to borrow someone else's. I suppose neither possibility is all that different from, say, mandating kids to say the Pledge of Allegiance: "Your values - now!"
