Cool

I don't condone thievery, but I do salute a pilferer who shows excellent taste and nabs the real goods.

The Maltese Falcon! Nice work, fat man. Either the thief's a collector with an eye for the greatest piece of film-noir memorabilia ever, or some nut who thinks the falcon's enamel really does conceal a priceless, jewel-encrusted, golden statue. Either way, pretty cool.

Still, I hope they nab him and nab him soon. Because when some heister knocks over Humphrey Bogart and Dashiell Hammett, you're supposed to do something about it. It doesn't make any difference what you think of him — he knocked over Bogey and you're supposed to do something about it. And it happens in a drinking establishment. Well, when one of your organization gets knocked over, it's bad business to let the thief get away with it, bad all around, bad for every bartender everywhere.
