Burglar Nabs Quarters

By Samantha Abernethy in News on Dec 31, 2008 6:50PM

2008_12_31_maytagman.jpg Police arrested Kevin Richardson, 48, who allegedly pried open at least 11 washers and dryers at three different laundromats in Aurora and stole the quarters inside.

He faces four counts of burglary and two counts of theft by possession, since police found washing machine parts and an Aurora Beacon News newspaper vending box that had been missing since November.

There is no news on what he planned to do with the quarters. We imagine he planned to destroy the records at his local arcade. Miss Pacman never would have seen him coming.
