Record store robbed by long-time customer, armed with prog rock
In case you missed this on the TV3 news...
"An opportunistic thief has robbed Christchurch record store Penny Lane Records of cash, armed only with a copy of a classic Pink Floyd album.

“I know some people do some pretty stupid things but this, I would have thought, is pretty up there,” says Garry Knight of Penny Lane Records. The thief left more clues about his identity than just a penchant for prog-rock.

Besides having his every move captured on CCTV, the thief has been a regular customer for years – even leaving his name and phone number in the past to order albums.

He did it again with The Wall just before the daylight grab. “He put it aside and left all his information,” says Mr Knight. “I’m struggling to work that one out, I really am.”
