Gillette makes MSNBC "Criminal Pecularity" stories

I have to credit my mother for sending this to me.  This story did appear in our newspaper, but since it was so small, I must have missed it.

Can’t steal your heart, so your valuables will do

Police in Wyo. say stolen credit card used to buy computer, online dating

 

Someone was clearly desperate for a date — so desperate they tried to steal their way to a happy heart.

According to Gillette police, someone used a 30-year-old Gillette woman’s credit card to buy a Gateway computer and then rack up charges on various dating services.

Sgt. Dirk Blackmer said $1,400 of charges were made on the woman’s card between May 1-18.

At this point, the identity of the thief remains unknown.

Police continue to investigate.

I’m sorry folks, but you can’t make this stuff up even if you tried!
