The Indy Basketball Goal Thief
Wednesday, July 28th, 2010Indianapolis, Indiana – Jeri Holland, 25, of the 3700 block of West 10th Street, said a man in a pick-up truck stole the basketball goal in front of her house at 6 p.m.
After backing his silver Chevrolet pick-up onto her property, the robber — about 5-feet, 10-inches tall, and 145-pounds — lifted the goal off the ground and threw it into the bed of the truck.
If I were the thieving kind I’m pretty sure that a basketball goal would be pretty far down the list of things I’d be after. But hey, sometimes in the summertime I guess you just have to have your hoops.


And to my own comments:
If there’s one thing that I love this time of year it’s the chance for a good thunderstorm and the excitement of tornadoes (you just never know when one will level your home…and given an infinite amount of time it will happen eventually). But what I love even more are the random summer-like days we get in February, March & April. After a long cold winter those days are awesome, even if they’re not around to stay for a few more months.
