Irony, thy name is Crimestopper Security Products
The local fishwrap -- otherwise known as The Ventura County Star -- noted the rather ironic victim of a commercial burglary in today's paper, headlined: "Alarm parts stolen from Simi security store."
Someone broke into a security equipment store in Simi Valley this morning and made off with tens of thousands of dollars worth of alarm parts, police said.
Police responded at 4:56 a.m. to a burglary alarm at Crimestopper Security Products Inc., 1770 S. Tapo Street, and discovered someone had entered the business through a hole cut in the wall of the building, said Lt. David Livingstone of the Simi Valley Police Department.
An estimated $70,000 in alarm components were reported stolen, Livingstone said.
Officers did not find any suspects at the scene.
So, the Reader's Digest Condensed Version of this story would be: Crimestopper didn't.
Marketing mavens are fond of saying that there's no such thing as bad publicity.
Wanna bet?
