If you're going to steal . . .

According to The Gallipolis (Ohio) Daily Tribune, a young man was indicted in Gallia County this week. He is accused of

receiving stolen property for allegedly receiving, retaining or disposing of $250 in quarters, a jar of pickled eggs, a miscellaneous box of candy bars and a box of cigarette packs belonging to Backroads Bar.

He's only been charged. He hasn't been found guilty or innocent yet. But if you're going to steal, aim high.

By the way, I've never had a pickled egg. Are they worth stealing? What do they taste like? Is their main function to create a thirst for beer?
