Seen the "Hamburglar" vials stickered before myself...they're as
ubiquitous as the Greek-motif coffee cups in the Big Apple...50,000
customer phone numbers (!)...well, I bet that's gonna cause pot to
disappear from New York City (hah!).
Good work, feds! You've caught the Hamburglar! Next up, The Penguin!
