Lost & Found

The Gaurdian reports “The novellist Ian McEwan has discovered that a bricklayer is the older brother he never knew he had, following the man’s quest to uncover his roots.”, but the real juicy part is in the correction: “The novelist Ian McEwan was educated in a state school, not a private one”.
I give it 2 weeks before this is a Law and Order episode.
Starting on Christmas Eve, a ring of thieves — mistaken by neighbors as a moving crew — removed $2.5 million in art, antiques and rugs from a Jackson Street mansion in San Francisco’s Presidio Heights, taking two truckloads of loot without being detected.
It took months of planning to execute but afterward just days to become a perfect mess — when one of the burglars decided to try to sell back some of the loot to the victim, who happened to be an heir to the Schlage lock company, one of the biggest makers of locks and security systems in the country.
