Not surprised someone was caught trying to steal from Dominick's their price are high, plus she was probably the only one in the store shopping so all the employees know she was in the store and seen her walk out. Hahahaha

Monday morning, I left for work and noticed individuals walking door to door through my neighborhood. While they may have been attaching paper advertisements to the doors, given the thefts from homes it looked somewhat suspicious. Is there an ordinance against this type of activity in Oswego? If not, there probably should be.
