SHOWERING BANDIT MAKES A CLEAN GETAWAY, AGAIN
Insidenova.com: "Police say a Thursday morning burglary at a Manassas law firm is likely related to a recent rash of break-ins in Old Town. Somebody busted open a window at the Daugherty Law Firm at 9315 Center St., in Manassas sometime between 5 p.m. on Wednesday and 8 a.m. on Thursday, according to Mike Daugherty, a lawyer at the firm. The thief took a small amount of money from a desk drawer, but employees also found other drawers opened in adjacent offices, according to senior partner and attorney Don Daugherty. In addition, the office computers that are always left on were turned off when he arrived at the office. “We have a live monitoring system, so maybe [the burglar] saw himself on camera and then thought turning the computers off would make it go away,” Don Daugherty said."
