Copper theft case in the 60s.

Thanks for the link, Joe. That's exactly what I was thinking of ...

Now that coppers closed the copper caper, we should commend the constable for committing the criminal to custody until contrition is completed.

I had a hunch you were thinking of one of my favorite Carson skits. The shame is that they clipped the end where they zoomed in on Webb saying, "This sounds like a 123."(I don't remember the #s.) Carson: "What's that?" Webb: "Korny Comedy." If anyone can find the complete routine, Please post it!

Greg, that's the same clip. They needed to let it run 5 to 10 seconds longer. They always ran that on the best of shows.
