It could be worse! http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&c ... bc/2857278 Woman Blames Newspaper Typo For Apartment Theft Mon Aug 1, 6:56 PM ET A Lawrence woman who had her possessions stolen blames the city's newspaper. ADVERTISEMENT Kris Bryan said the Lawrence Journal-World printed a mistake in a street address, causing her apartment to be cleaned out by thieves. Bryan told KMBC's Donna Pitman that she returned home after work and saw strangers loading up her belongings into their vehicle. When she asked what they were doing, they showed her a classified ad in the newspaper. The public notice stated that all things at 1319 Tennessee St., Apt. 3 would be thrown away if unclaimed. "It was just a real shock!" Bryan said. "I was freaking out. I told them that's my apartment -- there's been some mistake." Pitman reported that it was a one-digit mistake -- the newspaper ad should have read 1339 Tennessee St. The ad was placed because a woman in that home passed away and no one had claimed her belongings. Bryan said the people she confronted returned her things, but unfortunately, her TV, DVD player, movies, furniture and a 7-week-old kitten had already been taken from her apartment.. "I was crying, bawling," Bryan said. She said she wants the newspaper to pay $3,500 for the stolen items, but that can't replace her lost kitten. "Sometimes you can't get away with your mistake, especially when someone gets hurt because of them," Bryan said. *Having also seen the story reported on CNN headline news, this is NOT a fake news story!!!* |

The people who took the cat prob thought they were saving it. Hopefully the people who took it will check the paper and see their mistake. |
