How in the world would someone take 3 tables, 6 chairs and a business sign without someone seeing them there is a camera on the triangle that covers that area, they need to rewind the tape...Of course Emmaus has garbage pickers so maybee they thought it was garbage since Perk has been closed for sometime.....

I am amused by your comment about "garbage pickers" being in Emmaus. They always have been but you really only saw it on garbage nights. Now I see people taking two items to the dumpster and coming back with five. I guess it is true. One man's garbage is another man's gold. Too many germs for me:)

Too bad they treated a stranger more like family than their own son.
