Racks disappearing in Meridian
Single-copy sales of The Meridian Star have been unusually profitable recently — profitable, that is, for the thieves who are stealing the 15,000-circulation daily’s newsracks.
In the past three weeks, someone or some gang has stolen 11 Meridian Star racks, as well as a number of USA Today honor boxes. Most of the newsracks have been recovered, with their change boxes missing, the Star reported Friday in an article by staff writer Brian Livingston.
