BURNT TOAST CRIME BUSTERS
How Burnt Toast convicted two felons
When Tom and Kathleen Hanway went home to Perth, Western Australia
last Christmas, they gave a couple members of her family copies of
the recent Burnt Toast release "Quick Rising". As (bad) luck would
have it, Kathleen's brother Brendan was burglarized. VCRs and TVs
went out the door, plus his CD's. A few weeks later the police advised
him that they thought they had caught the villains. But they needed
him to identify his property, which by then had come down to a large
selection of CD's. On reviewing the goods he proclaimed, "Yes they
are mine officer, because there is a Burnt Toast CD amongst them."
He mentioned that his brother-in-law, Tom Hanway from New York, is
a member of Toast. The Toast CD had not been commercially released
in Australia, so there was no way for the accused to have gotten a
copy. Hence when it finally came to court some time later, the
magistrate asked Brendan how he knew this was his property. On
giving the answer previously supplied to the police -- the felons
were convicted.
