"Novel Crime"
Criminal investigators are currently looking into a reported case of theft from the Minneapolis Public Library after a book was reported missing last Friday. The missing title, “Love Buzz: Soul of the Honeybee”, a collection of poems by local author, I. Ben Stung was last seen by librarian aide Catherine “Cat” A. Logger during her routine daily afternoon shelving.
“I loaded the book on the cart myself” Logger said. “But when I went to put it on the shelf it was gone. Taken.”
This is not the first missing book reported at the new downtown library. Library officials refused comment.

"Weather"
Meteorologists are at a loss to explain the recent deluge of sunshine hitting the city. "They told me when I first moved here that it would rain for 8 months straight, and now here we are in Mid-March and it hasn't rained in weeks. What am I going to do with all of these umbrellas?" local merchant, Ray Needai complained.
The current sunny weather is expected to last into next week, when it could potentially level off into seasonal norms.
