Stolen 27-inch TV Found -- In the Privvy

One has to wonder if the place was wired for cable. A Wilkes property owner recovered his stolen TV recently, after learning third-hand that it was set up in someone's outhouse. Here's how the report reads: The man whose TV was stolen was told by another man that the TV was in the outhouse behind the other man's neighbor's house. So he went over, and sure enough, it looked like his purloined set. He called 9-1-1 to have a deputy come to the outhouse, and when the deputy ran the serial number through the national crime database, there it was -- proof the man had found his TV. It was dusted for fingerprints and given back to the man -- the report doesn't indicate what other investigative measures were taken inside the outhouse. So far, no charges have been filed.
