From the
Lewiston Sun Journal:
LEWISTON - Police were searching for three men Wednesday, one of them accused of stealing a guitar from a music store by stuffing the instrument down his pants.
The heist occurred at Music Maniac in the Lewiston Mall last week, police said. Stolen was a Fender Stratocaster guitar.
Police said that two of the suspects stood around inside the store, acting as lookouts and providing distraction. The third man shoved the guitar into his pants and pulled a long sweatshirt over the top of it, police said.
The theft was discovered later and video surveillance footage was turned over to police. The footage clearly shows each of the three suspects, all of them wearing baseball caps and open coats.
The suspect identified as the one who stole the Fender is seen walking with the guitar in his right hand.
Strangely, it was at least the second such theft to occur at the store in recent years.
In November 2006, a man was caught as he tried to walk out with a guitar jammed into his pants.
I mean, sure, it starts with a guitar, but just wait till their stuffing ’67 Cadillac’s in their pants.
I won’t even classify this as an “Only in Maine” story because honestly, this is nothing more then an “Only in Lewiston” piece. I can't pull the entire State into this.
Found this beauty of a headline in today's Kennebec Journal. This is why people come to vacation in Maine:
