Purse Thieves Get Just Desserts

Did you know there's a connection between the performance of "Wicked" in Spokane and a purse robbery in Missoula? According to the Missoulian, a girl had her purse stolen by two women at Muralt's Travel Plaza as she was traveling with the Anaconda High band to see the play. And the thieves would have gotten away if they'd turned south instead of north on Highway 93. Instead, they were caught in snarled traffic as a result of an two-vehicle crash. A Missoula County sheriff's deputy spotted the vehicle with the suspects near the bottom of Evaro Hill, and the two were quickly arrested. You can read the whole story here.

Question: Do you believe in karma?
