    We've said it before and we'll say it again, if you're not scouring The East Hampton Star's weekly Police Logs, you are majorly missing out!

    During the summer, the column is filled with ridiculous drunk weekender antics. But during the off season, it's just as tasty a treat... like this past week's Loro Piana shoplifting ring anecdote.

    "On Saturday, the manager of the Main Street shop Loro Piana reported two instances of shoplifting within 10 minutes. At 12:16 p.m., he told police, a man and a woman entered the store, browsed around for a few minutes, and left with jackets valued at $7,300 and $3,995 without paying. About eight minutes later, a different man walked out with a $7,300 jacket and a $6,500 jacket. The manager told police he’d recognized them all from prior shoplifting incidents. Detectives are investigating the thefts as third-degree grand larceny."

    Personally I would have loaded up on their pouches (I mean that ostrich!), but hey - to each their own...
