FREAK FRECKLED CROCKERY CROOK CRACKS CODE

The Administration has today confirmed that their maximum security dinnerware vault has indeed been compromised by the criminal known as 'PLATESY', who first claimed to have access to the secure facility last week in a statement released on Youtube. The video consisted largely of what appeared to be non-compostable plates being used as frisbees by PLATESY and his or her two masked companions. Police Commissioner Jordan told the press, "Police are fully cooperating with Federal agents to keep the peace and bring this freckled miscreant to justice. Any citizen with information as to the whereabouts of PLATESY or his partners in crime is encouraged to come forward. However we DO NOT reccommend approaching these criminals - they are armed with unlicensed crockery and may be highly dangerous."

CUPCO, the corporation which outbid all its' competitors for the Vault's security contract, did not reply to our requests for comment.
