Coeur d'Alene police may have gotten a divine lead if the culprits in a weekend theft of thousands of dollars of music equipment turn out to be named Mark, Michael, Nathan and Elliot. The names came to a member of Gateway Christian Fellowship "through prayer," according to a Coeur d'Alene Police report. The church was having a conference at the Best Western Coeur d'Alene Inn when the equipment went missing overnight Tuesday. Natalie West, a civilian report taker for the Police Department, didn't have any luck dusting for prints. But as West was investigating, a member of the church approached her and handed over a piece of paper with the four names and the words "Budget Rental Truck." "These are the people who did it," the woman told West, according to the police report. When West questioned the woman, she said another member of the church had the names "come to him through prayer" -- Taryn Brodwater, Spokesman-Review.

CPD Blue PRmistress: Christie Wood: "What do you do with it? We have to have something kind of tangible."

DFO: I believe in the power of prayer, but ... this church should keep its members away from the spirits -- the liquor cabinet, that is. On second thought, we have a Mark, Mike and Nathan who hang out at HBO. Now, all we need is an Elliot (with one T) and we could solve this case.
