Pohleece activity on Exit 5

Spurred on by Quiet Patriot’s report of men in blue with long guns I headed over to the Post Road to see what was up. Sure enough, like Hank William’s Yvonne’s, the place was buzzing. Exit 5 Southbound sealed off and cops everywhere. No word yet what they’re up to but judging from the presence of the SWAT team, the bomb squad, four canine patrols and thirty-five squad cars, I’d guess it was what our force calls a “Triple Treat”: that’s right, a Mommy in an SUV, talking on her cellphone while not wearing her seatbelt and turning right on red without coming to a full stop. This is what makes all those hours of training worthwhile.

    GREENWICH — A consignment shop was robbed at gunpoint Monday morning by two masked men.

    Police are investigating the armed robbery at Estate Treasures at 1212 E. Putnam Ave. shortly after 11 a.m. and are searching for the perpetrators using town and state police K-9 units.

    No one was hurt in the robbery, but a store employee tripped and fell after chasing the two men out the back door of the store.

    Greenwich police have cordoned off the area and are inspecting a stolen blue Mitsubishi left in front of the store for evidence.

    “We haven’t found the suspects,” Greenwich Police spokesman Lt. Richard Cochran said. “We searched the area and in the trees but haven’t found anyone.”

    A consignment shop robbery?

    Only in Greenwich.

    Well, maybe Beverly Hills, too.

    Greenwich Police spokesman Lt. Richard Cochran said. “We searched the area and in the trees but haven’t found anyone.”

    Maybe if they looked on the ground, instead of “in the trees,” they might have greater success in locating the perps.

    However, perhaps their efforts are focused on spotting the slippery Bubbles, now reportedly on the lam since his alimony has been cut off after the untimely death of his LA sugar daddy.

    I doubt there would be the same level of sarcasm in these posts had someone been shot.

    Speaking of those “Triple Treats”, one of those idiot Moms once nearly hit my 9 year-old son while we were making a legal trek across West End Avenue in OG a couple of weeks ago. Not as benign a profile as you describe: Poor drivers to begin with, now distracted, operating vehicles (many of them essentially small trucks) that are too big and powerful for them.

    Well of course not – I can tease my friend Jack Moffly for falling off his boat because he’s fine – if he’d drowned, for God’s sake, I wouldn’t be having fun with it. Yet the subject is deadly serious – I have had friends drown, just as I’ve lost friends hit by cars. The near-misses are a fit subject for humor (in my opinion) the tragedies are not. If the potential for tragedy makes everythig off limits, we’ll be stuck in an even more humorless world, and how boring is that?
