Thank you for the local news story explaining why the quality of our daily newspaper delivery has dropped off so precipitously since Monday. The neighborhood reading public has been in turmoil, (seniors just don't like any breaks in the routine). They've called the circulation robot, they've complained to each other, unable to figure out why delivery suddenly is so poor. It's been great up until now.
You've shed some light.
Turns out our faithful newspaper delivery lady, Mrs. Schommer, to whom we mailed a big Christmas tip after receiving a picture of her "five children," is in jail, according to a story you wrote in the Valley News. She's been using her delivery job as a cover for stealing boxes and birthday cards and letters from mailboxes early in the morning. Police finally caught her by using a "bait box" rigged with a tell-tale beeper and GPS, you wrote.
So you got your big story. Good for you. Now who is going to deliver our newspaper?
