Three teenage men dining at the restaurant made a run for it without paying, but waitstaff were able to flag down a nearby sheriff's deputy to help.
Though they thought they had a solid getaway plan, three recent George Webb customers were inevitably caught for a classic case of dine-and-ditch. A 17-year-old Fredonia man, 18-year-old Saukville man and 18-year-old Fond du Lac man were dining at the restaurant early in the morning July 29. When the Fredonia man left the table, the waitress assumed he was going to smoke a cigarette, according to the police report. Instead, once outside, George Webb staff noticed him moving his truck to the gas station parking lot across the street. The other two men got up shortly after, telling the waitress money was left on the table, and running out the door, according to the report. The waitress said she "immediately became suspicious" of their …

Police have no leads in the missing Playstation 3, among other stolen items; the victim was arrested on Fish Day for stealing money and medication, and faces charges in connection with that theft.
Several items were stolen from a 21-year-old Port Washington man's apartment while he was in jail — ironically enough, for stealing. Paul R. Nuedling called police on July 24 to report a Playstation 3, Sony recording device and friend's bicycle were missing from his apartment. He believed the items were stolen sometime before that Tuesday and Fish Day — when he was arrested for stealing money and medication from a craft booth at the fesitval. Nuedling was taken to jail after the Fish Day incident, and his apartment was left unlocked, according to the police report. He told police that his parents had gone to the apartment to lock it, but when they arrived the items were already gone. Open dresser drawers further convince Nuedling that …
