Yeah, not the hardest-hitting news, but I couldn't resist this headline. http://freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll /article?AID=/20070616/NEWS01/ 706160304/1003
quote: 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. |

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. |

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" Ookpik |

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. |
