3S Liquors, Arvada, CO Another staple in the King Soopers strip mall, 3S Liquors, features a grumpy, old man that looks like the Prospector from Toy Story 2, and, best of all, a line-up of security pictures taken of past perpetrators of 3S, displayed on the door. This local “Most Wanted” list also asks patrons or passer-byers to contribute to the hunt by identifying and labeling perps that they may recognize. Unfortunately, people have taken this system lightly and have listed multiple names for each person. “Jared. Thomas. Samuel.” People, that helps nothing. One person just wrote down a nickname: “Short-Change Artist.” I suppose it is possible that there is a notorious Arvada criminal that goes by that name, but more likely, someone walking by failed to understand how severe the situation at 3S is, opting to attempt a “joke” rather than their civil duty. Seriously though, all that these pictures accomplish is making me want to steal something, get on the board and see what nicknames people give me. I’m hoping for “Colonel Klepto” or something in that vein.
