A man was arrested in Cedar Springs, Kent County, on Sunday, April 21, for allegedly shoplifting from three stores: Aldi, Goodwill, and Meijer. Kent County sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of shoplifting at the Goodwill store around 1:30 p.m. A worker witnessed the man leaving with stolen items.
A centuries-old newspaper, found in a Goodwill store in New Jersey, has been appraised at $18,000. The artifact, a copy of the December 28, 1774, Pennsylvania Journal and Weekly Advertiser, features the ‘Unite or Die’ snake logo and signatures from John Hancock. It was acquired by The American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia. The donation highlights the value of thrift store finds, as another shopper once bought light fixtures for $7 and sold them for $2,600 on eBay.
