The armed robbery at the diner - its interesting that they have all of those details but not eye or hair color or anything like that. Was he wearing a mask?

The destruction of property (vehicle damage due to scratching doors and hoods) also occurred to multiple vehicles on Rosewood Ave. Unbelievable. I'd love to see the responsible person caught and have to work to pay every last penny that it costs to fix each vehicle. I say set up more cameras and let Big Brother watch and record.
