The No-Tell Motel II
A man was robbed in his motel room by three men in Wichita, Kan., and told police that one of the men mentioned he was staying in “room 126” in another nearby motel. Sure enough, police found their suspect in that room. Meanwhile, a motel in Ft. Bragg, Calif., reported its office had been burgled. Left behind was a note: “There was no one here to attend us guest in rm427,” the note said. “You even left the office unattended. You could have been burglurized ... Your lucky I didn’t steele.” Police went to room 427 and found the items taken in the burglary, and arrested Enrique Rodriguez Vasquez, 37, on suspicion of burglary, and possession of methamphetamine. (Wichita Eagle, AP) ...Somehow I just knew drugs would be involved in this case.
