Not exactly a criminal mastermind.

One of the two men who robbed the City Jewelry shop in Boston was arrested later that day after he returned to the scene of the crime to retrieve the cellphone he left behind, Boston.com reports. According to the article, 34-year-old Leshawn Parrish doubled back to the shop to fetch the phone, only to find that the shop owner had locked the doors after incident, prompting him to flee again. Police obtained a description of Parrish from the owner, and then found him wandering Main Street before chasing him down on foot. The thief was formally charged with larceny in a building, disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, resisting arrest and possession of Class D substance with the intent to distribute, and informally charged with grand stupidity.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
