It says she was wearing black shoes but those shoes don't look black to me. Whats up?

the perp looks so average that after 5 month it would be likely no one would make a match. IF the pic had been released right away someone might recognize her as someone that came into their shop, used the gas pump next to them or was at the bank that day. likely she also stopped at the other little shops in the area or stopped into a coffee shop for a snack.

Greater Saline's long, hot and felonious summer, 2012 edition, has been reported in meticulous detail on annarbor.com for months now, so this should come as no real surprise. But is this the tipping point, the final nail in the coffin on Greater Saline's hopes of ever becoming fully-integrated into modern American society? Too soon to tell, really.

At least the Saline Police are doing more than the Ann Arbor Police did for me when I used to own a retail store and reported thefts of this size. AAPD would just take down the information and basically it would be "don't call us, we'll call you if we turn up anything". Of course they never did. No pleas in the press for information or public bulletins either.

Pitsfield township is even worse. They charge $15 to file a police report to never hear back from them.

Police waited 5 months to release the photo?

excellent point. I don't get why decisions like that are made. Is it a "who gets credit for an arrest" thing?

Start by replacing that camera you got free in a box of Capt Crunch.
