Cross-dressing Serial Thief Hits ClayCo Gas Station.
The last two weeks have not been good for the BP station in the 51-hundred block of state Highway 85 in Clayton County.
According to store personnel, over a recent ten day period nine customers had their wallets, handbags, and other possessions stolen from their cars at pump six. At one point, they say, there were eight robberies in eight straight days.
"Someone just ripped everything from me," sighed Nidra Dillon. "My ID is gone; my social security cards; my children's social security cards. It's just a big mess."
Dillon says she had no clue she was being robbed... and she was there. So were her kids.
"I paid at the pump. I never left my vehicle," she recalled. "This guy was just that quick that he just reached his hand in there, and nobody ever even saw it. He was just that clever. My children were in the car. There's no telling what could have happened."
The store's surveillance cameras were rolling, but the manager says the computer took a hit during a recent thunderstorm, and the video has been hard to retrieve.
"He was passing the car, and he saw the window and the bag lying around, and he just jumped on the opportunity; and he got away with it," said store manager Talha Bin Mumtaz. "I guess he had another urge the next day to do it again, and he's been doing it since then. And everyday there's a victim of that."
Mumtaz says he thinks he recognized the suspect as a local man who dresses in drag.
And that would corroborate what Dillon's husband said he saw when he came back to the store looking for her wallet.
"He said he wasn't sure if it was a male or female," she said. "Now we know it was a male posing as a female who walked up to the car and crawled over to this lady's vehicle and was sticking his hand into the vehicle. And (my husband) said that he started flashing his lights at him, and he took off running."
Clayton County police say they have stepped up patrols and assigned a detective to the case but note that the majority of the victims did not file a police report. The manager believes that's likely because the store is right off the interstate and that many of the victims were out-of-town travelers who simply wrote off the loss.

Minnesota duck hunters will see lots of changes
Minnesota duck hunters will see lots of changes in their season this fall, including an earlier opening day, earlier opening-day shooting hours and an earlier youth waterfowl hunt.
Bag limits for wood ducks and hen mallards will be higher than last year, according to the Department of Natural Resources. And north and south hunting zones have been added to provide additional hunting opportunity.
“We needed a change,” Tom Landwehr, DNR commissioner, said in a statement. “We heard from waterfowl hunters that they supported these changes, and with waterfowl hunter numbers at record lows, we don’t expect season changes to negatively affect breeding populations.”
The 60-day, six-duck-limit waterfowl season will open Sept. 24. Opening day shooting will start one-half hour before sunrise, as opposed to 9 a.m. in the past. And youth waterfowl day will be Sept. 10. Duck bag limits are consistent with most other states in the Mississippi Flyway.
“The changes are designed to maintain Minnesota’s waterfowl hunting tradition by increasing opportunity and better utilizing the federal regulatory framework set by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under which we operate,” Landwehr said.
The changes reflect input from a recently formed citizen waterfowl hunting focus group, according to the DNR.
This year’s earlier-than-usual opener will allow hunting when greater numbers of migrating wood ducks and blue-winged teal are around, yet maintains late-season opportunities.
Hunting north of Minnesota Highway 210 – the North Duck Zone – will be allowed continuously through Nov. 22. Hunters in the South Duck Zone – anywhere south of Highway 210 – will have a split season. Hunting in the South Zone will be allowed Sept. 24-25 to take advantage of early migrations, then close for five days. The season in the south
will resume on Oct. 1 and continue through Nov. 27, which is the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

Petaluma receptive to plastic-bag ban
Petaluma's City Council expressed support this week for a possible countywide ordinance regulating disposable carry-out bags, both plastic and paper, to reduce waste, pollution and environmental damage.
Representatives from the county waste management agency are seeking feedback from all Sonoma County cities to determine whether a unified county ordinance would gain support. The agency would fund an analysis of the proposal and defend any legal challenges if all county agencies unanimously support it.
Mendocino County supervisors voted in April to start an environmental impact report in a move toward banning plastic carry-out bags. Marin County, San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Monica and Los Angeles County already have plastic bag prohibitions and impose small fees on paper bags.
The fees are intended to encourage consumers to use reusable shopping bags because of the environmental toll plastic and paper bags take on the environment.
Some retailers are preempting the trend, including Wal-Mart, which has discontinued the use of disposable bags at several stores, including the one in Ukiah.
County waste agency representatives told the Petaluma council that a unified county ordinance could be written in several ways, but likely would include a ban on plastic bags given by merchants and a fee on paper bags.
They said bans on plastic only have given rise to legal challenges.
The plastics industry opposes bans and has sued in several jurisdictions. Preparing environmental impact reports, rather than less formal analyses by government agencies, is an effort to ward off such challenges.

Inflation then was higher
Inflation then was higher, 4.5 per cent also, and at that point the RBA was cutting aggressively. And so - but you are still saying that there's no case for them to cut aggressively this time?
No, I think we need to be careful about saying what would get them over - what we'd need to see in order to get them to cut rates. And I think a lot more would need to be seen in order to get to that conclusion.
In fact, we still think a rate hike will invariably occur, but in the early part of 2012. Now, I think you - as you rightly point out, what we've seen is a pretty marked deceleration, we think, in terms of both confidence indicators, tightening up of financial conditions more broadly - of course the currency's a large part of that; wealth indicators falling away as well. They're three very important dynamics that tend to drive economic cycles. And all those are flashing red.
Now, in terms of the deterioration in growth that we've seen - and of course we haven't got the June quarter data yet, but if it does come in something in the order of around about 0.8 per cent, because let's face it, the export re-acceleration due to the anticipated pick-up in coal exports out of Queensland just hasn't materialised.
We can see that very clearly in terms of the port data. You're looking at a number that may be in the order of about 0.8, 0.9, which would take the headline GDP number to a level that is very similar to where we got to in year-on-year run rate during the depth of 2009.
So, of course we can say there's distortions that are doing that, and there are, but the baseline is a little bit worse than trend.

A RISING star in the fashion world
A RISING star in the fashion world yesterday hailed tragic Alexander McQueen as her lost mentor.
But Judy Clark, 26, also paid tribute to her Uncle Donald for weaving the tweed that has helped her make her name.
Judy, from Fort William, started working for McQueen, who died last year, after graduating in fashion from Edinburgh's Heriot Watt University and writing to him asking for a chance to show off her design talent.
McQueen's skill in tailoring as well as his love of Scottish heritage and fabrics made it the perfect learning platform for Judy, who would run up samples for him, dye fabrics, make prints and sew outfits.
She was involved in the green dress McQueen designed for Sarah Jessica Parker to wear to the Sex And The City premiere.
She also met other high-profile industry names such as hat-maker Philip Treacy, who created Princess Beatrice's controversial headpiece for Prince William's wedding, and socialite Daphne Guinness, who was a close friend of McQueen's and had her own rail of outfits at the design studio.
Judy said: "I was a huge fan of Alexander McQueen. He was in and out of the studio but he was quite a private person.
"He had a big office with a pile of Nike trainers and he'd work with a cigarette in one hand while eating strawberries, his favourite things. It was amazing to be in his space.
"I got to see the archive collection he had in storage and see the true vintage McQueen as well. I learnt so much there, not just design but also how to run a business. He used some of the textile pieces that I used and I was delighted.
"I kept a diary of everything that I did and even the floorplan of how it all worked. I noted down everyone who came in and how a successful business like that works, it's great to look back on." For her interview with the designer she made a Harris Tweed jacket which she now calls her Miss McQueen piece.
It's so precious, because it got her the placement, that she says she'll never sell it.

Carlsbad teens facing burglary
Two Carlsbad juveniles have been charged with aggravated burglary and larceny after allegedly breaking into a local home and stealing several high ticket items.
According to documents filed in the case, two juvenile males, both 16, were arrested on Thursday and charged with aggravated burglary, tampering with evidence, consipiracy and larceny ($2,500-$20,000).
According to a criminal complaint from Det. Swanson with the Carlsbad Police Department, who was the arresting officer, on Feb. 8, Ofc. Matthews responded to a residence on the 500 block of South 11th for an aggravated burglary.
The victim, Richard Lopez, had items stolen form his home, including four rifles, various electronics, a Playstation 3 gaming console and games, a watch and a laptop, said police.
A witness told police the suspects, who were in a white Nissan Altima, entered the house and then left holding the guns.
On Feb. 21, Lopez told police he saw the Altima at a residence on the 800 block of North Pate Street, where police later responded and interviewed two juvenile subjects, leading them to the two males charged in the case.
According to the complaint, on Feb. 21, Det. Swanson and Det. Kohler interviewed several suspects who were involved in the aggravated burglary.
Detectives conducted an interview with one of the first suspects, who was eventually charged in the burglary.
Juvenile "A" reportedly said the only thing he "got out of it" was a watch, also saying he didn't know where the guns were "now" and that he had not left the residence with a gun.
According to the report, the juvenile also told police the plan to commit a robbery had occurred at the the other suspect's residnce, where the two were reportedly with two other subjects, a male and a female.
