Won't Be Hitting The Pawn Shop With This One

San Bernardino, CA

"Okay, here's the plan. We break in, tie everybody up, grab the cash, tv, and the three-year-old."

"Right, we... Wait, what?"

Two unidentified men, between 18 and 25 years old, broke into the home of three-year-old Briant Rodriguez, tied up his mother and four siblings, ransacked the place, and took him with them. The father was off at work.

Briant is 3 feet tall and weighs 40 pounds, with brown eyes and long, curly brown hair. One of his abductors is described as approximately 18-years-old, thin and 5 foot, 8 inches tall wearing a black ball cap, blue jeans and a green t-shirt and the other as a skinny male, 24-years-old, 5-foot ten-inches wearing all black except for a white bandanna. No one saw their car.

The last time I recall this sort of thing happening was in Vegas last October. All kinds of messed up, that one. Drug money, custody battles, Federal investigations. Fun stuff.

These things are never as simple as they look. Could be money, could be drugs, could be a custody thing. In the Vegas case the kid was found unharmed.

Let's hope the same holds true for this one.
