Greetings,
It strikes me odd, from an editorial stand, using the $100,000 in the title, or even in the article. True, the person lost a lot, but isn’t a story written this way turning Walnut Creek into an even stronger magnet for any criminals who read? Just a thought…..
Mr. Lustig,
Thank you for reading the Herald. But that’s not an editorial. It’s a press release from the Walnut Creek Police Department.
