Yeah, not the hardest-hitting news, but I couldn't resist this headline.

Thieves destroy storefront to get a few bottles of wine

June 16, 2007
BY AMBER HUNT
FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER

Apparently, they really wanted some wine.

Detroit police said two men driving a backhoe rammed through the front of a party store early Friday and stole a few bottles of wine.

Sgt. Eren Stephens-Bell said nothing else appeared to be missing.

It wasn't clear what kind of wine was stolen or how much it was worth or who the backhoe belonged to, she said.

The front door of the Chene Trombley Market, on the I-94 service drive near Mt. Elliott, was destroyed, a store employee said. The backhoe was left at the scene.

...


Actually, the first comment on the freep comments area is interesting (for a change), about the owner violating his contract with the city.

What a shame these thieves couldn't put their driving skills to a better use. Here is the market:

The same thing happened at
Chene Ferry Market six or
eight years ago. Cleaned
him out. Usually it's a stolen
truck through the wall. I
remember this store from the
other side of the Freeway.
Sold more Lottery than any
other store. Dodge Main was
still in operation. Had great
lunches. Kielbasa was great.
The original owners moved
to this new building .They
lived upstairs.Notice the
balcony in the photo.

(Chorus)
Top of the line wine, Carlos Rossi
Drinkin' on some of of that top of the line wine, Carlos Rossi

(E-40)
Top of the line wine Carlos Rossi, man
I drinks it all the time it's extra satisfying
Three of four times a day you can catch me drivin
Back and forth to the liquor store buyin
Jugs and jugs of tha shit cause I'm addicted wit no denying
Perving, swervin rannin all into the fuckin curb and
If I get one more D.U.I. then it's curtains
I can't cope, I guess I'm a alcoholic sometimes I hit the chronic
It's just like gin and tonic when it's time to get erotic
5.99 for a big ass bottle of Rossi wine it's right on time
Once you become a member of my drinkin' club you will find
The key to set ya free so give it a try
But don't mistake it for Chablis unless you already high
Spread the word get sprung and drink it with ya down chromes
That's another word for sohobs, potna, folks, homies
Every motherfuckin' year
We do this shit every other fuckin' day if not every day
But anyway I want

Chorus

(B-Legit)
Hocus motherfuckin' Pocus
The top of the line wine, yeah nigga that's the dopest
And if you in The Click, them motherfuckers notice
that we be downin jugs from the tallest to the shortest
Everywhere I go, people wants to know
What's the name of that shit you and the Click be like fuckin' wit
I keeps it on a hunch on the ... cause brother I be perved
Fuckin' wit some shit that will send you to the curb
And if you wit a bitch, then nigga you nice
Cause Rossi goes good wit some dank over ice
Take her to the telly let the wine fill her belly
Fired up some smelly then ya jammin' like jelly
Bust a couple of nuts, hit the butt and than the grill
Dick hard like I did time up in Vacaville
But still I be bossy
(E-40)

Fuck wit some of that top of the line wine

Carlos Rossi

Chorus

(E-40)
Sunny day, sky blue, shit, I think Imma barbecue
Let me get my ass up outta bed and call up the whole motherfuckin' crew
Ray you bring the chicken, Kaveo you bring the links
Mugzy you bring the hamburger meat and I'll supply the drinks
Shit it's good to be on damn it
I got Suga-T in the house whippin' up some potatoe salad
4 slabs of ribs up in the refrigerator marinatin'
Bring home the .. I got tha .. and I can't be waitin'
Well, what do you know, though the door comes Kaveo

The man behind the counter of the liqourstore loves me

Over a G within a week on the Carlos Rossi

Thanks for the church hymns, Patrick and Barnesfoto. In Detroit, anything goes when it comes to thieving wine. Here is the market at Chene and Ferry that you referenced, Tony_box_42: http://farm1.static.flickr.com /159/408299318_e9d083a21a_b.jp g

As Fred G Sanford once said, it was a cross between Champale and Ripple; " Champipple".

The Free Press missed a chance to use this headline:

"Thieves Use Hoe To Steal Wine"

Or

"Hoe Aids Thieves In Heist"

Someone told the guy, "Tear that schitt down," so he did. He just got distracted by the wine, that's all.
Instead of a wine-o, he's a wine-hoe.

To steal a quote from a Freep story on another great moment in Detroit: "And there you have it. Detroit looks silly in America again." http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs .dll/article?AID=/20070405/BLO G08/70405014&imw=Y

Someone must have needed a drink pretty bad.
