Shattered glass and an empty cage! That's what the staff of the Byrd Theatre discovered on Sunday morning after a vandal/thief destroyed a glass door to acquire the contents of a cage containing dollar bills.
Reports the Richmond Times-Dispatch:
Yesterday morning, someone broke into the theater and cleaned out the bird cage, which probably held less than $100, said General Manager Todd Schall-Vess. A bigger problem was the damage to the theater doors, which may cost $1,200 to fix when the bills come in....
.... "It's a shame that there wasn't more donated money to steal," Schall-Vess said. "It would have been sequestered somewhere else. The sad thing is, they didn't get away with much because there wasn't that much to take."

Convicted! A serial robber who rattled Carytown last autumn received a 30 year sentence today for his role in multiple robberies and larcenies along the popular shopping corridor. Says the Richmond Times-Dispatch on the conviction and sentencing of Christopher M. Davis:
Over a six-week period beginning last August, Christopher M. Davis robbed two taxi drivers and targeted four women, in one case knocking a victim down and dragging her along the pavement into an alley.
Today, Circuit Judge Richard D. Taylor Jr. sentenced Davis to 20 years for each robbery charge and 10 years for each larceny count. The judge suspended all but five years for each count.

Looking for something to do on Thanksgiving or Christmas Day? In the past your options were limited to The Byrd Theatre or Movieland at Boulevard Square but now a new venue has risen to challenge these pillars of holiday entertainment. The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts announced today that the museum will be open 365 days a year, offering special holiday hours so that you can share Richmond's art treasures with your guests from out of town:
Historically, the museum has been closed Mondays and in recent years, it was also closed on Tuesdays. Holiday closings were on New Year’s Day, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Starting on the Fourth of July, VMFA will open on these holidays from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Do you want to be on tv? Mutual of Omaha is offering you the opportunity at fame and television stardom as they setup their mobile television studio in Carytown. Says the Times-Dispatch:
Insurance giant Mutual of Omaha is in town for two days looking to find new stories for its "Aha Moment" ad campaign.
The company is parking its 34-foot mobile TV studio outside the Byrd Theatre in Richmond's Carytown business district beginning this morning.
It's asking area residents to drop by the studio to share their personal "aha moment," which could then wind up in ads running next year. The campaign, according to Mutual of Omaha, is built around the concept that "everyday people can create extraordinary possibilities."
