“I feel sorry for those who are hungry, but a lot of these [people] aren’t stealing food, they are stealing something they can sell to make money for a habit,” Natural Pantry owner Vikki Solberg said. “At least that’s what it appears.”

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - At a vacant lot next to Cuddy Park, municipal crews loaded more than a dozen shopping carts into a truck. The carts were mostly from Fred Meyer and Walmart, and the plan was to take them back to the stores where they belonged.

“Other people will try to fill up grocery bags full of stuff, $200, $300, $400, $600 [worth], and that we’ve caught and that we can count to see what they’ve taken,” said Solberg. “Some of them are up to no good, some of them aren’t, I’m not trying to judge them but they’re causing a lot of damage, they’re costing people a lot of money,” she said.

A cat named “Homeboy Thumbs” from Anchorage is angling for a wacky moniker!A cat named “Homeboy Thumbs” from Anchorage is angling for a wacky moniker!Zoe McHenry, owner of a cat named Homeboy Thumbs, says he has no idea fame is coming his way, so he’s pretty chill right now. Each year, Nationwide’s pet insurance team celebrates some of the craziest names among its insured pets, and Homeboy Thumbs was among the 'Wacky Pet Names' finalists that were announced recently. He has an unusual condition of having extra toes! The wackiest names in each category will be determined by a public vote that runs through June 9 with the top cat, dog, and exotic pet names being announced on Tuesday, June 13. Naming such a unique cat took time, Zoe recalls. “I started to refer to him as ‘Homeboy’ and ‘Thumbs,’ and I couldn’t pick between them — so I decided to combine the two.” The name was the perfect fit for this fantastically unique feline. “My cat acts like he has street cred, and it’s because he legitimately does. I have no idea how long he was out on the street for,” she says. “He’s also a goofy dude … I thought Homeboy Thumbs was the perfect mix of goofy and gangster, because that’s what he is.” If you have an idea for an Allgood news story, email Dave: AllgoodNewsktuu.com
