That's one of the latest headlines in the SJ-R's "breaking news" online. "Tools stolen from shed."
Stop the presses!!! Some kids broke into farmer Bob's shed and stole his tools!!! It would be cute if this were the police beat section of the Rochester or New Berlin weekly farm-town paper and not the news daily in our state's capital.
It's annoying enough that the online SJ-R mixes in petty crime updates with their real stories, but this is ridiculous. Overexposing petty crime isn't good reporting and it promotes a distorted, unhealthy view of our community.
Hey, Gatehouse! Passing off police beat updates as headlines is NOT a replacement for hiring reporters to do actual news!
Headline: Decent community newspaper vandalized by poorly managed corporate conglomerate!
