College Station, like many smaller communities doesn't have a high crime rate. We did, for one brief moment in time have the Great C Thief. The C Thief will live on in infamy with many of us....
The C theif went around the city taking capital C's. We're talking a discriminating thief that only stole the capital letters and seemed to enjoy the irony behind the thefts. We were reduced to having the "ity of College Station" (not sure why he didn't take the C in College, but this person was the mastermind), we had Bee reek Park, Dove rossing, astlegate. This felonious soul even sturred the city up enough to have a veteran Eagle reporter write an article (incidentially with no C's) about them.
Yes, I know this cost everyone, but I at least like to hear about criminals with a sense of humor!!! The newspapers are always commenting on the dumb ones...
Does remind me...Equity Real Estate was missing the E for a while and the Y's light went out. For one evening their sign said "quit Real Estate".
