Short Story:  The Orlando Sentinel reported that "a whole gang of drag queens" could be responsible for stealing thousands worth of fabric, sequins, feather boas and other things from Central Florida stores.
Police arrested three suspects Sunday afternoon at her store, said Amanda Marshall, manager of Jo-Ann Fabrics on East Colonial Drive in Orlando. They were men in wigs!
“They’d come in and order yards of fabric at up to $39.99 a yard, stuff it in their man purses and leave without paying,” Marshall said. “Oh, gosh, they could wipe out a whole section of boas in seconds…”
When confronted, some of the suspects handed over merchandise to the staff while others bolted through the front door.
