jaylectricity: Grables'Daughter: Really? People take more than one newspaper?

I'll take a couple if we're going camping.

Or moving and need to wrap dishes.

Was this guy the thief?

Best nation in the world? DONATION!

You guys laugh, but with these extreme hoarders, this has become a serious problem. It's gotten to the point where on Sundays, someone has to ask my clerk for a newspaper and pay for it right then and there. Otherwise, they'll steal all the coupons out of it.

Camping, dishes, emergency TP, its got a million and 1 uses!

Is that fine police work or reporting there, Lou?

People still read newspapers? Day old news is so exciting! The only thing better is week old news if you buy Time or Newsweek. read Fark.

too ez...just kidding, but getting it done before some reddit fan comes in

Good work, but in a lot of places it is the newspaper employee that takes the hit not the publisher. A guy I know that used to do that work would stake out his boxes, then explain to the thief that he just stole from a regular hard-working guy.

Extreme Couponers would say hi but they're busy loading an entire grocery aisle into six carts so they can block off a register for 40 minutes with a smug backpfeifengesicht look on their faces.

does it really say on those old newspaper vending thingys that you can only take one? I thought the payment grants you permission to open the box, and once it's open, you take what you want.

FTFA: THEFT FROM AUTO, HOLDENS ARBOR RUN: A watch, gift card, and cash totaling $1,655 were taken from an unlocked 2005 Toyota 4Runner some time after 7 p.m. on Feb. 10. The vehicle was parked in the owner's driveway.

Next week's police blotter will include:

INSURANCE FRAUD, HOLDENS ARBOR RUN: A local car insurance company pressed fraud charges against the owner of a 2005 Toyota 4Runner for falsely claiming that $1655 in cash had been taken from their unlocked vehicle.

I get a saturday newspaper delivered.

I need my NYT Sunday crossword puzzle.

(the rest of the paper goes right into the recycling bin since I've already read their news online)

What's a "newspaper"?

germ78: You'd think that by now newspapers would have come up with a vending machine that doesn't rely on the honor system in a dishonorable society.

This.

It's the principle of the thing.

Sadly, there are too many sociopaths out there that will take advantage of the system any way possible, thus screwing things up for the rest of us.

I think they are primarily used by people with pet birds.

Where did you think extreme couponers get 80 50 cent of Yoplait coupons?

I leave even more than that all the time. A $15 watch, $10 gift card and $5,000 cash.

That's EXACTLY what's going on - why the Sunday? Cuz that's where all the coupons are.

hillary: BURGLARY, HILLIARD BOULEVARD: An office door at a local church was found forcibly entered on Feb. 11. The intruder rummaged through files and desk drawers. Nothing was taken and there was no sign of forced entry to any exterior doors.

I've never had that problem with the handjob deacon.

germ78: You'd think that by now newspapers would have come up with a vending machine that doesn't rely on the honor system in a dishonorable society.

They still rely on the honor system because it doesn't make sense to take more than one newspaper. They are all identical, in small quantities, and have very little value. They are only good for about 24 hours and once you've read one there is no need to read to read the others. It is a waste of time to try to sell them for a profit. If you can manage to make a profit, it will be too small to justify the effort.

Gotta stock up on those coupons!

they take the coupons and resale them on ebay.

Cybernetic: EXTREME extreme couponing.

I love how on Extreme Couponing it is called a stock pile, and on Hoarding it is called a hoard.

/I can't believe I watch those shows with my SO she and I generally make fun of the coupon people

Buncha savages in this town.

Keep in the habit. You never know if the electronic infrastructure will go belly up someday. You'll at least be one up on the zombies.

Oh I don't know we got 30 posts from people wondering why anyone would want a newspaper and old news for any reason....

/yeah, yeah, I know, welcome to Fark

I'll make it rain coupons and the biatches will love me!

hillary: iron_city_ap: I leave even more than that all the time. A $15 watch, $10 gift card and $5,000 cash.

Where are you parked right now?

In the back corner of the lot, far away from all the other cars. I figure if someone breaks into my car, I'll donate part of the $9000 in cash back to the police if they recover it. They can keep the watch and gift card too.
