YM Duncan Cumming wants to
4 pass on to the burglar who’s
broken into his used book
uf store, Booklovers, twice since
- oe the beginning of November.
or The first time, a month
ago, the thief threw a rock
through the glass door of the

he shop.

pe a “That was the big loss —
neat $220 to replace the glass.”
pew Cumming doesn’t leave

much money in the tll, so
the night-time visitor was
only able to help himself to
some change, about S!0
worth, figures Cumming.
- oF “He made a mess. But the
ee . interesting thing is he got
7 a into the cookie jar and sat
and munched them for
awhile.”

to its new focation at 3rd
Street and St. Georges,
Cumming always has choco-
late chip cookies on hand for
customers, and for those
browsing through the book
store’s selection.

It seems the burglar likes
them too.

“He found a spare key, I
must have forgotten about it.
He came back last week and
let himself in — that was
good: he didn’t break the
door this time.”

But he did tip out the
contents of some drawers and
crack open the cookie jar
again.

Since then the locks have
been changed.

“But E want to cell him
that if he comes in during
regular hours the cookies are
free — and he can have a cup

of coffee with them. Kind of °

a ‘Thanks for not smashing
the door this time.” ”
