[And if you're one of the following people, and you happen to subscribe to the newspaper, the Paperboy may or may not have flung the newspaper through that person's window, at the person, and/or broke something in the area: Gellrt Grindelwald, Myrrh, Shota Aizawa, Regina Mills, Trunks Brief, Izuku Midoriya, Neito Monoma, Noctis Lucis Caelum.

Crime Spree
Several people in Nova City while away at their home visiting the hospital returned to find themselves robbed. The victims of the crime ranged is levels of wealth, though the more wealthy found themselves with more things missing. Investigators first checked the staff at the hospital, but everyone that would have known the schedules of the visits.had alibis for the times of the robberies.
It is entirely possible that one or more of them could have had an accomplice in the thefts and this avenue of thought is currently being looked into by the hospital’s investigators. The last thing the hospital wants is for any of their patients to feel that their house might be robbed while they are coming in for their yearly check up. This is the first time any mass theft has happened like this with a connection to this hospital. Hopefully investigators are able to turn up the culprit.

)1.) Three countrymen met at a cattle market. "Look here," said Hodge to Jakes, "I'll give you six of my pigs for one of your horses, and then you'll have twice as many animals here as I've got."
"If that's your way of doing business," said Durrant to Hodge, "I'll give you fourteen of my sheep for a horse, and then you'll have three times as many animals as I."
"Well, I'll go better than that," said Jakes to Durrant; "I'll give you four cows for a horse, and then you'll have six times as many animals as I've got here."
No doubt this was a very primitive way of bartering animals, but it is an interesting little puzzle to discover just how many animals Jakes, Hodge, and Durrant must have taken to the cattle market.
Prize: Horse Riding Lessons

People feel as if those sorts of problems won't happen to them, and so they tend to focus on the final reward without considering the challenges along the way. They feel invincible.
