Title: The Mysterious “Binary Bandits” of Philadelphia
Post by: ChrisSmolinski on September 21, 2016, 1936 UTC

In what has been described as one of the most bizarre strings of petty crimes ever recorded, dozens of people in Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood have been reporting the theft of their house numbers. Interestingly, in all cases, only the “1” and “0” have been taken, which has earned the yet-to-be-identified thieves the nickname “binary bandits”.

Has Al bought a Greyhound bus pass in the past couple of months? He knows his way around Philly after years of being the Belle of The Winterfest Ball.

They should try stuffed penguins on the porches in Kensington to see if it brings it to a stop.

Beings that I am not too far from Kensington, I can tell you that the liberal college hipster scene is big there. They probably had a contest as to who can commit the most hipster crime- and here's the winner.

I wonder if this has something to do with Toynbee...

And they've both been termed "mysterious". I think there is something afoot here, Mr. Fansome.
