from the CP via The Record,
STRATHMORE, Alta. - An autographed limited-edition photo print of NHL star Sidney Crosby was just too difficult to resist for a brazen thief in a small town east of Calgary.
RCMP Sgt. Kevin Reilly says a man in his 20s walked into the Tim Hortons in Strathmore, waited until staff weren’t looking and took off with the picture of the Pittsburgh Penguins captain from the wall.
Reilly says it was obvious that the suspect had planned the heist carefully.
The photo is emblazoned with the Tim Hortons logo, shows Crosby in his Penguins uniform and includes a 1993 Timbits hockey card with Crosby as a youth.
Reilly won’t reveal how much the print is worth except to say it was over $1,000 and was valuable.

Police have no description of the man except to mention that his voice was whiny and nasal, and that it took him approximately 2 minutes longer than any of the other diners in the restaurant to finally get to his seat.
Sounds like Draper.
Someone should tell him to move on.

It had to be Bettman. If it was Draper they’ed have found the print in the restroom when he was done wiping.

Draper or Bettman aren’t tall enough to reach a picture on a wall.
