"All the News That's Fit to Regret"

elmaestro Proves One Man's Trash Is Another's Treasure, Nets $37

In a development that would surprise precisely no one familiar with Sunshine Shoals' entrepreneurial spirit, local "finder" elmaestro netted a cool $37 and a purloined lawn flamingo by introducing some conveniently discovered merchandise to Lucky's Pawn & Gold, where questions are about as welcome as a python at a petting zoo. The transaction went down smooth as a sea breeze, with elmaestro's Level 22 street cred and a three-job disaster-free streak lending an air of respectable criminality to the proceedings, though the stolen pink lawn ornament—now liberated from its previous owner—seemed to wink knowingly from behind the counter.
