From thefts of maple syrup to grave markers, NH police saw unusual crimes in 2011

From thefts of maple syrup to grave markers, snowplow blades and sunglasses, police in New Hampshire dealt with an array of weird crimes in 2011. Some were brazen, some just plain inexplicable. Among the former was a man’s attempt to sell a stolen bicycle to a uniformed officer in Manchester in September. The officer had approached the man to investigate a report of a bike that was chained outside a pawn shop being stolen, police say. They say when the officer approached the man, he offered to sell him the bicycle for $50.
