Game Plan

“We’re not exactly sure what this is.”
Mike Bestul, Sergeant with the Brainerd Police Department

Vandals hit the town of Brainerd, Minnesota (population 13,770) last weekend, but their attacks weren’t random—these guys had a game plan. They took play money and super-enlarged photocopies of the banker from the game Monopoly, and they pasted them on the Wells Fargo Bank, US Bank, Dairy Queen, and Armed Forces Recruiting office. Police say the vandals were clearly leaving a message, but they just don’t know what it is. Maybe a protest from the Occupy Brainerd group? In any event, police are asking people to call if they see anything suspicious—like someone walking around with a Monopoly game in one hand and a bottle of paste in the other.
