Neil Armstrong Portraits have been Recovered!

WAPAKONETA -- The police chief in Neil Armstrong's Ohio hometown says three portraits of the astronaut stolen from the local post office have been recovered.

Wapakoneta Chief David Webb would not say Thursday how police found the print and two enlarged photographs of Armstrong, who became the first person to walk on the moon in 1969. Webb says the pictures have been put back up and authorities have identified a suspect. No charges have been filed.

Employees arriving for work Monday noticed the images of Armstrong were missing at the post office in Wapakoneta, about 50 miles north of Dayton.

Postmaster Jennifer Shoup said someone apparently ran off with the portraits from the unlocked lobby sometime on Friday.

OK, so who is the mystery man from Wapakoneta that is stealing Neil? Is it some college kid pulling a prank? The derranged son or daughter of one of the town fathers? Inquiring minds want to know !!!

I swear, this town has secrets. They whisper to me when I walk past certain houses on the wealthier streets, once in technicolor chalk on the sidewalk in front of the Adam's Family house, where some erstwhile demon or demonette had scrawled " Satan Loves Me" sending a slightly jarring note of Halloween on what was an othewise picture perfect day.

A friend of mine used to live in Lima. Now granted, he is a bona fide tin foil hatter... but he told me that there were satanists in this town, not the piddly little wiccan kind but the big fat goat sacrificing, baby eating kind.

After all, we DO have the biggest Halloween Parad in all of NW Ohio.

And if there are Satanists in this town, the head honcho must live in the Adams Family House.. where I found the shiny happy stoner teenaged scrawl.
