Word on the street - April 15, 2010

This Sunday, someone broke into and robbed three soda machines in Tekoa and Farmington. What petty crime have you committed?

Caren Barber, Colfax

“I stole a Jolly Rancher cinnamon stick from the corner grocery store in 7th grade. And I got a whooping. And I had to pay for it too.”

Did you ever do it again?

“No! Learned my lesson quick.”

Heidi Brincken, Colfax

“I was a tattle-taler. I’d rat out people doing bad things. ‘Guess what my brother did!’”

George (last name withheld), Spokane

“Probably taking a deduction on my income tax form, whether I deserve it or not.”

Igor Matsypryuk, Donetsk, Ukraine

“Here in the U.S.- I do not have any crime here in the U.S. That’s why I’m good citizen.”

Jasmine Lander, Colfax

“I took a grape out of a bag <at the grocery store>.”
