My last post outlined the heinous crime to which I now dedicate my waking hours to solving. This post is to outline the beginnings of my hunt, and how the fiend may be much slier than I had thought. I’ve watched enough crime thrillers to know what the detective must do first; outline the toolsContinue reading “The Feral Pen Thief – The Hunt Begins”
