>> We don’t know about you, but our mom used to tell us if we can’t take care of our own toys, we didn’t deserve them anyway. Which leads us to wonder how the FBI feels about having a cache of weapons and equipment stolen from two cars parked on Capitol Hill Sunday.

Whether it’s outright theft or cafe owners absconding with pieces, there seems to be new concern about the safety of displaying one’s art in all manner of public forums. Now can anyone explain to us how you steal a 200-pound sculpture from a hospital intensive-care unit bustling 24/7? [City Paper]

>> It’s not just the folks over at Wonkette that were surprised to learn that People magazine has a Washington bureau. Sure, they’re shutting it down, but one wonders how much celeb news the office was able to churn out in between trying to convince their editor that capturing Nancy Pelosi picking up her dry cleaning was exciting as another picture of Britney’s crotch. Maybe they just automatically dispatch a reporter to any city with its own Scientology Center. [Wonkette]

>> Marion Barry is rumored to be in the hospital with pneumonia. Here’s to hoping there aren’t too many ways a man can be arrested while lying flat on his back. [Washingtonian]
