The stolen packages contained electronics, clothing, accessories and household items. All of the stolen packages were delivered by UPS.
I know one of the biggest reasons many of us shop online is the convenience of having what we ordered shipped directly to us but unfortunately thieves use our timesaving efforts as a way to do a little “shopping” of their own, especially during the holiday season. I have yet to recover the case of “Kind Bars” I ordered a few months back, in an effort to save a little money with a bulk sale price and free shipping, that sprouted feet and sent me on a personal investigation that lasted weeks and ended in me having $50.00 less than when I started and no Kind Bars. Since parcel bandits are trying to intervene in our holiday fun, here are some tips to help prevent package thefts.

As has become common with many AJC restaurant reviews, the full Ink & Elm review is behind a paywall, but you can still find the gist of it here. And here’s the opening blurb as well…
When you visit, you’ll have to make a choice. Will it be Ink or Elm?
Venture left and you’ll hit Ink, the lower-priced, more casual tavern bursting with brown spirits and craft beers. Head to the right and you’ll enter Elm, the restaurant’s take on fine dining with a focus on wine and cocktails.
