I just love reading this word in the BPD news. It's a perfectly valid word, but sounds simultaneously pompous and silly. Why not just say, "burglar's tools?"
Some of the language on that recordmakes me curious. I'm guessing that it's a legal lingo thing, since John Daley (who runs BPDNews, no?) doesn't write that way on his blog. I've noticed that rather than use the past tense, they'll often say that someone "did do something," as in, "Officers did recover the victim's money from the suspect" in the September 1 daily incident report. Perfectly correct, but why not use "recovered"? is it something about how police reports get written up?
I have lived in Brighton and in Maine. Maine is like a state of mini-Brightons where working people shouldn't live.
All the adults get liquored-up seven nights a week, their offspring not falling fall from the apple tree are likewise boozing,methaning it up. Booze parties in every neighborhood. Meanwhile the younger tots are riding around in ATV's(winter),Snowmobiles(winter) at midnight, even on school nights. Heck, there is so many layabouts on welfare like Brighton, the taxi companies advertise 'they make alcohol deliveries'.

Nefarious!
I also like "uttering," which BPDNews doesn't run nearly enough.

How about 'bulgarious tools'?
Down in Fairhaven it's apparently illegal to cultivate wheat, or something.
Unfair to Bulgarians!
Why is Fayuhhaven trying to sow feah against Bulgahs?
Yes, that represents a new low in bad puns. I don't care; Crimea river.
