Beachcomber: Banana Split Bandits.

Please, reader, allow me to share you one of the hilarious bits of the Beachcomber:

If you cant read it it says this, "In the ##### block of ###the Ave. SW, several 10-to 14 year olds entered an unlocked home and outhouse, stole banana split makings and left."

If there really is a gang of food stealing tween bandits haunting the Island then surely that is worth being a bit nervous about.  But something tells me there is more to this story.

For references sake this is from the Wednesday July 23, 2014 Vashon-Maury Island Beachcomber on page 22 under the Vashon-Maury FYI Sheriff Reports.

No rides at the Vashon strawberry festival.

The Strawberry Festival is this weekend. We are excited about it.

Except now I have to break the news to my 4 year old that there will be no rides.

This sucks. It really sucks. Even though the rides are kinda bad, and overpriced, it's still fun to give your kids $5 and say, "Go for it."

I hope there can be a solution in the future.
