Attn: gardens watcher:
Maybe they just looted some new footwear and clothing.
They was after the drugs not cash.
If I recall correctly, this place was robbed once before. It doesn’t seem like aa place that would have lots of cash in the register.
New Whirled, their clothing & shoes look new. Not likely shelter items.
Dark skinned? Maybe he was Italian or Arabic or Indian? Nah, bet he was Hispanic!
It’s okay. They’re wearing masks and social distancing.
Crime is rising rapidly just saw the stats earlier this week.
Wanna bet they’re guests of a nearby homeless shelter?
That’s a good point, there’s no reason to believe that at all.
