The most urgent unsolved mystery in Emporia is the theft of a gumball machine and candy dispenser? Seriously?!

I know it may sound trivial to you, but a thief is a thief. And think about when they come down from their gumball high. They may go for the chocolate next time!! Now that's a serious crime, in my book!!

I'm just puzzled over what you'd *do* with a bunch of candy and gum dispensers. How very odd.

Well, Gazette_reader, I guess after the guilty person is done getting his "sugar high", He can always sell those machines to a vender for a pretty good price I would imagine as these machines are not very cheap.

This heist has nothing to do with candy, it has everything to do with the coins inside the machines. Pity the fool so desperate.
