Must be a slow news day?

It’s not often that you see the Seattle Times bump articles like this to the front page:

Getaways are thwarted as criminals tripped up by their baggy britches

One sunny afternoon in January, Cicki Chandler, a 55-year-old underwrtiting associate at Cigna HealthCare in Chattanooga, Tenn., was walking to her car when a teenager in loose khaki pants approached her, pointed to her pocketbook and said, “I need that.” As she recounts the incident, he snatched the purse and took off.
 
But then he ran into trouble. As he fled, his loose trousers slipped down below his hips. As he reached down to hold them up, the teen was forced to throw the purse aside.

The best part is that they’ve apparently decided it was an embarrassing mistake, and the article is nowhere to be found on the internet. As in - the headline phrase doesn’t even show up on google (well, it might now, depending on how important my blog is).

I should really start hounding these editors about how cool Flicker Gaming is, especially when we keep putting up awesome content like this.
