Back in L.A., this type of news appears in the miscellaneous portion near the back of the paper if at all.

Wow, convenience store robbery making national news. Back west this might barely make local city news Got to love the safety of Japan. And even in Japan crime rates are still going down.

"threatened the 43-year-old male employee with a knife"

"If you're going to be a respectable thief,"

Detective Masahiro Matsumoto, Osaka Prefectural Police: Theft is theft. There is no gray area."
Detective Nick Conklin, New York City Police: Hey, Masu, New York is one big gray area, OK?"
