It's a juicy case for Durham detectives who are chewing over how to burst the bubble of the woman who's been stealing thousands of dollars worth of gum.
"It's a sticky case but we've got a couple of gumshoes on it," Durham police Sgt. Paul McCurbin said.
The thief's technique is simple -- she goes to large grocery stores, piles up cases of chewing gum in a cart, covers them with flyers, and then leaves.
She's made off with about $5,000 worth of gum so far, police believe.
She's white, in her 40s, about 5-foot-4 and 130 to 150 pounds with shoulder-length brown hair.
She may be working with a white man, in his 30s, with a medium build and around 200 pounds.
The pair may be driving a newer red Chevy Cavalier.

If only our elected leaders would pass more gum-control laws, we wouldn't have this happening!

If only our elected leaders would pass more gum-control laws They'll have to pry my gum from my cold dead teeth.

When gum is outlawed, only outlaws will chew gum.

Can't someone post a midi of the Cowsills singing "I Saw Her Standing In The Rain"? I mean, doesn't this thread require bubblegum music?!

Are these Durham detectives gumshoes? :-)
To: DJ Frisat
Nope. Not possible.Sorry, your answer is disqualified because it doesn't follow the whole "gummy" theme. A better answer would have been: "Sorry, midis don't "stick" here at FR" ! LOL! What Saturday fun!
