Intersting story about the stolen plaster sculpture of Jesus Christ. I wrote a blog story a while back about how artists from the Orange County area were becoming the victims of copper thieves as well.
It is sad when a person's work of art (that may have taken a year or more to create) can be snatched up and melted down for money. Very sad indeed.
See, nobody wants to be in Detroit. Even Jesus. (I'm allowed to say that cause I live there).
Yeah, coke smuggling through the airport, I like it!
I was thinking of using the Maxime Bernier affair, are you getting much about that, Sandra?
Canada's minister of defense dating a woman who also dated a Hells Angel member, a Mafia lawyer, a loan shark and now it turns out a member of the Mafia in Montreal. Not all at the same time, of course, in some cases she only moved on when the guy got killed (the loan shark) or sent to prison for life (the Hells Angel), or, I guess forgot her birthday or an anniversary or something.
It's like Profumo Affair but with organized crime instead of Soviet spies.
By the way I was in the World's Biggest Bookstore in Toronto today (which finaly admits it's nowhere near the biggest) and there was a nice display of What Burns Within on the "New and Hot" shelf. Looks great!
dc, it's amazing and appalling what people will do. That's one of the appeals of crime as a topic to me - it has an impact on everyone, whether they realize it or not. We all pay higher insurance premiums and taxes for police and services because of crime. Directly or indirectly, none of us go untouched.
Patti, LOL!
John, yeah, that's a hot topic. I read online, so I'm still following what's going on. Juicy for a crime fiction author, especially you. Lots of real-life inspiration there!
You were being sarcastic? I thought it was called honesty!
it's a cliche- but oh so true- truth is stranger than fiction
