Store burglarized twice in one night

by Brian Rowe

According to a report on JSOnline.com, Villard Food and Liquor, at 5123 W. Villard Ave., was burglarized twice on Wednesday. During the first incident, a man pried open a plexiglass window to steal food an liquor, and for the second incident, lottery tickets.

The humorous flip-side to this story is that Milwaukee Police believe the two burglaries were performed by the same man, while wearing two different outfits. The man wore a red hoodie and jean shorts for the first trip, and green coat with dark pants for the next.

I can only wonder, was this his idea of an elaborate heist, or did he simply forget the lottery tickets on the first trip?

About Milwaukee, WI

Forget what you learned from those Laverne & Shirley reruns. Long gone is the factory town that unleashed Harley Davidson and Pabst Blue Ribbon upon the world. In its place, you'll find one of the most exciting metropolises between the coasts. The motorcycles and beer are still around, but Milwaukee also has a cutting edge art scene, festivals for every occasion, a palette of architectural curiosities, a thriving night life, and some of the most driven and diverse people in the midwest. In Milwaukee, boredom isn't even an option.
