"TWO SAW WAY OUT OF JAIL MAKE LADDER, SCALE WALL," Toronto Star. May 14, 1943. Page 3. --- Cut Six Iron Bars on Window at Welland, Tear Boards Out of Shed --- ONE FROM TORONTO --- Special to The Star Welland, May 14 - Police in the Niagara peninsula today are hunting for John Stark, alias Stack, 24, Crowland, and Peter Max, 27, Toronto, who escaped from the county jail here during the night.

Stark and Max sawed their way out of their cell with hacksaws, crossed the corridor and sawed through six iron bars on a new window in the north side of the jail. They also sawed away the iron sash and crossbars of the window itself. Dropping down six feet from the window into the jail yard, they went to an old woodshed and broke away a part of the shed. With this lumber they fashioned a ladder to scale the jail wall and dropped 25 feet to the street.

The escaped men had been on remand for the past two weeks. They were arrested by provincial police near Port Colborne. They allegedly were carrying three revolvers, one an automatic. Police said they picked them up in a stolen car,

("We want these men in Toronto," stated Inspector of Detectives Arthur Levitt of Toronto police. "They are wanted on housebreaking and car theft charges. One of the revolvers found on them was stolen from Oriole Parkway in Toronto."

(Police also stated the men are wanted in Hamilton on theft and shopbreaking charges.)

The men's escape was discovered by a night guard, Harry Herman.

"We suspect they got outside help in some way," said Sheriff V. L. Davidson of Welland county. "They have had visitors."

C. F. Neelands, deputy provincial secretary, said the men would be wearing civilian clothes. "There are about 25 prisoners in the jail," he said.

This is my copy of Good Omens. It was like this when I got it, sometime back in the 90s. Probably came from a library sale or something similar.

I take very, very good care of my books, but I sincerely love how absolutely wrecked this copy is. Whenever I read it, little pieces of the cover flake off. It's so part of how the book *is* to me that pristine, new copies weird me out.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure this one did time in the Bentley. This is, in all likelihood, what would actually happen to a book that got left in there.

#good omens #good omens book #neil gaiman #terry pratchett #somebody loved this book an absurd amount #or left it in a car driven by a pair of international book thieves #it's been disintegrating for like three decades

Urban fantasy idea;

There's been a rash of disappearances in poor neighborhoods in a few large cities.

Large Urban Mimics have adapted and started mimicking cars with the window down, or keys in the ignition, and the local car thief populations are getting hit HARD.

I'm just picturing a couple of guys eyeing up a shiny yellow Kia parked on some old broken down residential alike;

"Nah man, think about it. Why would THIS car be here? It's WAY too nice! And it's a bright color. You know what the news reports said."

"Yeah, yeah, I hear you. Don't wanna end up like Stevie. Or Eddie. Or Amy. Or–"

"yeah, you don't gotta go down the whole list. Let's go."

They leave and the car sits there for a few more minutes and the whole thing makes a kind of juddery motion, and the whole thing slinks off into the empty street, not quite moving right, less like a thing with wheels and more like a thing with lots and lots of little legs.

#this would be a perfect side case/quest for an urban fantasy story #also i can just see this hitting the news eventually and people starting to put like- a strip of fake teeth along their windows #to make observant thieves leave their cars alone #like people put home security signs in their yards to deter break ins #urban fantasy #fun stuff #story ideas

one thing i really liked about honor among thieves is the attention to detail. like, for example, when they're entering the underdark, xenk, holga, and edgin carry lanterns, while doric and simon don't - because they have darkvision

its the little things, you know

#mechanics my beloved #like game mechanics #guess car mechanics are good too but i dont feel that strongly about them #you see i dont own a car #dnd movie #honor among thieves #or as i prefer;#dadhat

thinking about Kavinsky, who's almost convinced himself that he's God, only realizing just how powerless he is when Proko dies and he can't do anything about it. oh, he can dream copy after copy after copy but none of them are quite right. none of them are Proko.

no matter how powerful Kavinsky is, he can never do the one thing that he wishes for the most. Proko, the real Proko, Kavinsky's Proko, is gone forever

#i've been thinking about them recently.........#rhatliarehgliuarhgulrhglurehgluhgls #can you IMAGINE how K feels?????????? his dreaming is worthless for the FIRST TIME.#K IS his dreaming; it's his defining thing; it's how he sees himself... if his dreaming is worthless then isn't Kavinsky himself worthless?#think about the longing; the desperation that increases with every failed attempt #the grief; the fear; the self-hatred- how useless is he? all these drugs; cars; a new father; and he can't bring back the most important-#person in his life. thinking that this is something he SHOULD be able to do right??? he should be able to and he wants it like he's never-#wanted anything in his life but he just keeps failing and failing and failing #do you think he cries? that he screams every time he wakes up and the dreamed copy is wrong? that he sleeps all day for the chance to do-#better next time?#do you think that he cries every time he has to kill a copy; no matter how wrong it was?#how overwhelmed by grief and horror he must be; having to kill things that look like proko over and over again #do you ever think about Kavinsky burning himself to the ground in his desperation to see his Proko again?#AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!#prokopenko #joseph kavinsky #the dream thieves #proko #the dream pack #prokopinsky #I know I'm not being very eloquent lol but just herlahlrhluahrgarheg

Yusuke: Yes

Mitsuru: Did it somehow involve defeating your third demiurge over the course of three months?

Yusuke: ...yes

Mitsuru: Do you have a good reason for not calling us?

Sumire: We actually do this time!

#Sumire: My sister died in a car accident and my other brother and sister became Jesus #Toshiro: What?#i GUESSS for balance purposes Goro can be here so you always rescue two thieves at a time but you fight him with Makoto and #and Yusuke and Sumire together #Berry blast brigade #p5t #Mitsuru: Does being related to Jesus just give you like evil god detection powers???#probably not

Burning grins, burning headlights, burning lungs//

"surrounded by a wall of cars, headlights blasting directly into his eyes as he stared down the hound of pursuers. He couldn't help but feel like a deer staring back at the eyes of a group of predators. But Neil was no deer, he was a fox, a fox surrounded by a pack of vicious dogs. and he wasn't going to run. He could feel the adrenaline coursing through his body, pumping in his veins as sweat formed down his back. He felt like his lungs were tearing him apart internally, and he felt his hands shake from the rush of it all."

"SEND SIX TO PRISON FOR THEFT," North Bay Nugget. May 18, 1943. Page 14. ---- Two Get Penitentiary Terms for Stealing Auto in Mattawa --- Phillippe Grenier [TOP] and Ormond Foubert, both of Montreal, were found guilty when they appeared before Magistrate M. G. Gould in North Bay police court on Monday afternoon on a charge of stealing a car in Mattawa on April 28. Each was sentenced to two years and three months in Kingston penitentiary.

Isadore Grenier, Andre Coursol, Gregor Larocque and Fernand Beausoleil, also of Montreal, charged jointly with the first two men were given sentences of one year each at Burwash Industrial Farm. Coursol pleaded guilty; the others, not guilty.

Heavier sentences were handed out to the first two because each had a previous conviction on a theft charge.

Three witnesses were heard. Murray Kolvinko of Mattawa, owner of the car, told of seeing the six in Mattawa on the morning of the theft, of talking with them and of identifying them later in a Toronto police station.

Mrs. Amy Granfield of Toronto identified two of the accused as being members of a party of six who had parked a car behind a garage at the rear of her property on April 28 and had failed to return for it.

Joseph Shield, a member of the Toronto detective force, told of the arrest on the afternoon of April 28, of the six near where the car was abandoned and very soon after that took place. He told also of finding on the person of one of the accused a number of "postage due" stamps used by the owner of the car in his duties as mail courier. Found also in a cell occupied by the accused had been ration books bearing the name of the victim of the theft.

Before passing sentence, Magistrate Gould said: "While the failure of the accused to give evidence is by no means conclusive against them, still it is a matter to be considered, when joined to the fact that all five who pleaded not guilty were found in Toronto with the one who pleaded guilty and also with the fact that two of them have been definitely identified." Continuing the magistrate said that identification was sufficient to involve all six in the theft.

Crown Attorney E. A. Tilley conducted the prosecution and Arthur Courtmanche was interpreter.

[AL: Grenier was 22, married, a truck driver and had served a two year term at St Vincent de Paul Penitentiary. He was convict #7309 at Kingston Penitentiary and worked in a broom factory - he was transferred August 1943 to Collin's Bay Penitentiary, the lower security camp. There he was inmate #2109 and was released February 1945. Foubert was 22, single, a construction welder by trade, and had done time in Montreal and Ontario prisons. He was convict #7310 at Kingston Penitentiary and worked in the change room. He was a difficult prisoner and reported five times for insolence or poor conduct. He was transferred August 1944 to Collin's Bay Penitentiary, and released in early 1945.]
