This Week In Crime (Late Edition)

Oh, DP crime log, how we've missed you. For weeks you bored us with tales of bike theft and low-grade CVS heists, but no more! You're back with all the weird dirt that we've been missing. Join us as we dive into the stupid world of West Philly crime.

The recently re-christened Rave Cinema played host to some internal intrigue on October 1st when it was reported that someone had allegedly removed money from a safe within the theater. If this isn't a sign of the apocalypse, I'm not sure what is - when our own shabby, loud, and overpriced movie theater can't fix its problems with a name change and is forced into cannibalizing itself, we might soon be without a place to see blockbusters avec running commentary. The end times, they are upon us.

There's more after the jump (but not much).

We're not sure if this is a typo or something, but a dude named Erik Gomez was arrested twice in the space of fifteen minutes on October 1st. At 12:30, he was busted for allegedly taking things out of lockers in Pottruck (come on, who hasn't?), and at 12:45, he was apprehended again for allegedly stealing some chick's backpack in Meyerson. This either speaks to the Philadelphia Police Department's lack of follow-through/interest in preventing crime, or to Mr. Gomez's skill as an escape artist. His abilities as a thief, though - not so much.

Also, someone broke a door at the Rotunda and there was a theft at the skating rink. The world is a mess! Nothing is sacred! See you next week.
