Sticky-note bandit sticking it to St. John's-area businesses

A con artist who likes to use sticky notes has been making the rounds of retail businesses in the St. John's area — and in at least one case — making off with a store credit note for $600.

According to store owners, the man goes into a shop, discreetly places a sticky note on a piece of merchandise, and tries to persuade the store clerks that the item has been paid for.

"It's a first for me," admitted Peg Norman, owner of The Travel Bug.
