1. Some perv is doing this...yes, jail

2. If it's a bogus story...cool their heals in jail.

That somebody would actually do it is disgusting.

Where do you get sewing needles now that Woolworth's is gone? All the little crap they sold is just harder to find now. I miss the 5&10s. They were fun sort of like browsing a hardware store.
