Morning Smile: The Baskerville Bandits

There have been several crimes in our small town recently, and you probably didn’t expect any of them to show up in The Daily Telegraph’s “Morning Smile” section. But folks, this is not just any crime.

This particular group of bandits attempted to rob the town bank of the little money it has. However, apparently they forgot their maps! (Not to mention their eyeglasses.) Because these bandits instead robbed Main Street Books, cleaning them out of all one thousand copies of the Sherlock Holmes classic, “The Hound of the Baskervilles.” For this reason, police have nicknamed them “The Baskerville Bandits.”

The Baskerville Bandits like to visit numerous towns under the masquerade of “Uncle Louie and the Polka Dots,” a small traveling band.
