• Thief steals Dr. Seuss-themed free-book box from Cape Charles yard (easternshorepost.com) — A beloved Dr. Seuss-themed free-book box was stolen from Mark Usry’s yard on Strawberry Street in Cape Charles, where children regularly picked out free books. Usry, who spends hundreds each year stocking the box, has reported the theft to police and is asking residents to watch for the distinctive Cat in the Hat–decorated structure. He says taking books is fine, but taking the box crosses the line.
