A Morrisville State College University cop is being charged with stealing Tastykakes from a Valero Nice N Easy. The Valero Nice N Easy gives free coffee to cops in uniform. They do not however give away free Tastykakes. Sgt. Steve Brody decided to help himself to the Tastykakes every time he got his free coffee. He has been accused of hiding them in his newspaper and his shirt. Sometimes he would take just one, and at times up to four! Apparently the store had warned the cop to stop stealing, but the cop didn’t listen and continued on with his Winona Ryder ways. He was ticketed on October 17th with petit larceny.
New York Penal Code Section 155.25 - Petit larceny.
A person is guilty of petit larceny when he steals property.
Petit larceny is a class A misdemeanor.
Tastykakes cost about $1.29 a piece. Sgt. Steve Brody is accused of stealing 21 of them.
The 21 stolen pastries, priced at $1.29, were valued at more than $29, including tax.
His arraignment was postponed yesterday at the Morrisville Village Court. If I hear anything else I will keep you posted on the Tastykake stealing cop.
The coffee at the Valero Nice N Easy is free to any police officer in uniform.
What wasn't free were the Tastykake pastries that state police now say he helped himself to, often concealing them in the paper or his shirt. He usually helped himself to one, but once took as many as four, according to employee statements to police.
Brody was warned to stop stealing from the Route 20 store several months ago, but continued to take Tastykakes on at least 17 separate occasions since Aug. 18, according to court papers and surveillance videos. Brody, 55, of Morrisville, was ticketed Oct. 17 for petit larceny.
Store clerks first complained about the thefts in March and told their manager, Randy Hobson.
"He was over by the coffee area when I heard this noise of crackling," clerk Jennifer Girard, in police statements, said of a March incident. "Basically I knew it was a wrapper of something. I was able to see Steve take a honey bun, and he put it into his coat pocket."

Satibo-----Powerful! Wonderful! Successful! [ www.china-satibo.com ] http://www.china-satibo.comHerbalism is the oldest known method of healing, being used to some degree by all Ancient cultures. Many herbs which were used for healing thousands of years ago are still in use today. Prehistoric sites in Irak show that Neanderthal man used herbs such as Yarrow around 60,000 years ago. Early humans were attracted to the aroma of herbs; they rubbed strong smelling herbs on their bodies to hide their human scent from animals which they were hunting. They also used the scent of herbs to mask the stench of rotting meat. Our ancestors discovered the healing properties of herbs by trial and error, learning the hard way that while some herbs heal, others harm.

Herbs were often considered magic in ancient times and form part of many love potions and aphrodisiacs. In the years before about 1300 AD,1650 AD the image of the herbalist changed, people using herbs were thought to be witchs. Many witch hunts occurred throughout <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />Europe, but herbalism was not abandoned it was practised in secrecy. Nycholas Culpepper wrote the first popular herbal as it meant that the poor could read the book, collect herbs, and make their own medicine, therefore no longer relying on medicinal practicioners. Around the time of Culpeppers Herbal, medicine started to change. Inorganic remedies were being invented and introduced, and since these were new and considered scientific they often took prescedence over herbal remedies, so that herbalists found themselves being associated in reputation with superstition and quackery.

The medical physicians were using inorganic metals and with bleeding and violent laxatives as treatments through to the early 19th century. The period from 1920-1960 may be called the decades of lost herbal healing, medical schools ignored herbs, pharmaceutical drugs replaced herbal tinctures in pharmacies and many of the culinary herbs fell from popularity. However in the early 1960s many people became disatisfied with orthodox medicine and so began a resurgence in herbal medicine that is still escalating.
