So the Newport Market has a high-end balsamic vinegar thief, says a story from the Bulletin a week ago. The story’s gotten spread across the AP wire, getting spread all over the place, but I think Fark had the best headline of all:
Store owner responds to repeated shoplifting of balsamic vinegar with sign reading: “Thanks to the Balsamic Vinegar Thief this area is now under surveillance. We will get you.” Sounds like sour grapes to me.
On a related note, who the heck buys a $40 bottle of vinegar? Maybe those folks should get together with our State Senator who has an obsession with olive oil and make themselves a nice dressing.
