The Tide Is Turning

Is this for real?

"Law enforcement officials across the country are puzzled over a crime wave targeting an unlikely item: Tide laundry detergent."

The Fuzz saw this* during his daily perusal of the latest news. He does like to keep informed of these sort of important trends. It does seem just a bit weird though.

"Theft of Tide detergent has become so rampant that authorities from New York to Oregon are keeping tabs on the soap spree, and some cities are setting up special task forces to stop it."

"One Tide taker in West St. Paul, Minn., made off with $25,000 in the product over 15 months before he was busted last year... Tide has become a form of currency on the streets... Enterprising laundry soap peddlers even resell bottles to stores."

The Fuzz wonders if it was a Clean Getaway!
