Have you seen these fish?

The dog days of summer are hovering on the quickly approaching horizon and already our small town is seeing a rash of theft and thievery.


$.81 for three minnows. Seems the bad economy has trickled down to live bait prices as well.

My only question (actually, I have many but this one seemed the most questionable that I could cull from this police blotter entry) is how exactly did the Bait Shop owner know there were only 3 minnows missing? The bait shops that I've visited (okay, I've been to two in my lifetime) had huge tanks full of the swimming silver fishes.

Maybe the Rainman is in charge of the minnow tank.
