Just talked to the Southwest Precinct – they’ve arrested the key suspect in the laptop thefts last night at Freshy’s and Monday night at Cupcake Royale. (Previous WSB coverage here and here.)

Fast work…glad to know that this kid will be off the streets, if only for a little while. I think adding assault to the robbery charge would maybe keep him off the streets for a bit…

I think I saw where this will be featured on KONG tonight at 10:00 if anyone is interested.

Just watched the KING report online.

Funny (well, not so much) to watch tv news from the other side.
“Nearby” Cupcake Royale … well, no, it’s a mile-plus from Freshy’s.
“Internet cafes” … not really … pretty much every coffee shop has wi-fi … “internet cafe” means someplace like Hotwire where they offer house computers too.
And “new at 10:00” … well, not really, considering we told the story here (thanks to Michael, and thanks to the comment from CR heist witness Sam!) about 28 hours earlier. OK, nitpick off! — TR
