FREDERICKSBURG, VA — Um, what? Someone stole what? In this case, someone inexplicably stole something utterly and completely useless to them Thursday from the Dollar General Store at 1255 Jefferson Davis Highway, according to Federicksburg Police. Namely, someone stole a merchandise scanner.

That's right. A merchandise scanner. Around 1:45 p.m., a store manager reported the theft by an unknown person. Not to worry, though. It was found behind a neighboring store. No suspects or witnesses. (For more local news, click here to sign up for real-time news alerts. Also, like us on Facebook, and if you have an iPhone, click here to get the free Patch iPhone app.)
