“MAN AND WOMAN WORK NEW GAME,” Hamilton Spectator. March 30, 1931. Page 7. ---- Steal Radio Sets From Hamilton Firms --- Have Them Delivered, Then They Disappear ---- Several radio dealers who were victimized by a man named G. Roebuck of small but valuable radio sets by the simple method of having the set delivered to a King street east apartment this morning claimed that they had been successful in having a warrant issued for his arrest. Five sets in all have been stolen, it is alleged by this man, who would order the sets to be sent to a certain address and then disappear with the machines in his possession. 

During the past week three victims reported losses of sets valued up to $100 These were the Easy Home Appliances, the Radio Shop and A. Carey & Son. Over the week-end it was learned that the same man victimized Hurst's music store. Ottawa street north, and the Culley Electric company. 

Two in Game A private investigation to-day revealed that Roebuck, a man about 28 years of age, worked this racket with the help of a young woman, aged about 23, and a young man about 18 years of age. The trio rented an apartment at the corner of King and Tisdale streets, opened an account in Roebuck's name for $2 in a branch of the Bank of Toronto. Each time they worked the game on the radio dealers they would pay down $5 in cash and give a cheque for the balance. Each time the cheque was returned N.S.F. The same three, it is claim- ed, operated the racket with success in two other King street east stores, a clothier and a jeweler, the last mentioned losing a diamond ring valued at $125 in the transaction. 

The trio moved silently out of the apartment at midnight Friday and made their escape with the five midget sets, all of which could easily be moved in a sedan.

It is thought that it was the same three who worked the stunt with success in St. Catharines earlier in the week and in Toronto about two weeks ago.

Ya'll want to know the funniest shit?

I'm researching the era when Alastor was alive right now to get a better idea of both his character, the life he lived before Hell, and to hash out a backstory for him.

And so, apparently, Alastor lived through the Prohibition (which was basically the United States government illegalizing the manufacture, transportation, and sale of alcohol because they thought it was the cause of a lot of domestic violence and child abandonment).

Alastor canonically died in 1933.

Do you know how long the Prohibition lasted?

From 1920-1933.

ALASTOR LITERALLY DIED THE SAME YEAR ALCOHOL BECAME LEGAL AGAIN. CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW BITTER HE MUST'VE BEEN?

The Prohibition officially ended on December 5, 1933, and now my headcanon is that Alastor died December 6, 1933. Literally the day after he could legally drink all the booze he wanted.

I am learning a LOT about New Orleans and the era Alastor lived through (including the gay community in the city at the time) which has been a lot of fun, and I just wanted to share that tidbit because it is so fucking funny to me.
