So, how about this story: a transient bum learned his favorite bar was closed, broke in, and illegally re-opened the place! Unfortunately, it didn’t last long. Check it out:
According to Placer County Sheriff's detectives, Kevie had learned that the Valencia club lost its liquor license and shut down because he worked on the clean-up crew for the previous owner. Kevie allegedly broke into the building on July 16th, placed an open sign in the window, and started selling alcohol with a six pack of beer he purchased from across the street.
Aww, Kevie. You did good! Not good enough though. The bamboozle was shut down after three days, when the police saw the reopening notice IN THE PAPER! The moral of the story? Always let the blogs do your opening press.
Damn journalists. Apparently the actual owner of the building was impressed with his work ethic!
