And now a tale of thievery, ladies and gentlemen. Two, actually.

I know it's wishful thinking, but it would be lovely if we could somehow wave a magic wand that removes the desire to steal from the human heart. But alas, unlikely on this planet.

WHICH is why we are so thankful for our East Texas police departments.

Tyler Police have a Friday tradition known as #findemfriday. On this day they post photos and a few details in regard to crimes currently under investigation. They ask the public to stop and take a look at photos and get the info just in case someone might be able to provide help in these scenarios.

Today, we'll talk about two of them:

Tale #1: Villainy at a Verizon Store in Tyler

These two men decided to cut the cables at a Verizon Store on Hwy 64W in Tyler. For what purpose?

To illegally procure a watch and a Bluetooth speaker. Hm. Fine items, for sure. But worth a possible trip to jail? See if you can recognize either of these two men:

RANKED: America's Top 12 Best-Looking State Trooper Cruisers

Did you know that there is a brotherhood of state troopers called the American Association of State Troopers (AAST)? Their goal: PROTECT. PROVIDE. CONNECTAccording to their website the AAST was formed in 1989 when a "small group of Florida state troopers had the vision to create an association that would unite state troopers across the country and assist them by providing valuable benefits and services."

Each year the AAST releases a calendar of the best looking state trooper cruisers. Ranking is determined by their Facebook followers. It's all for a great cause too. Proceeds benefit the AAST Foundation, which provides higher education scholarships for AAST troopers' children dependents. A noble cause by any measure.
