Violins, secret emails and exploding cans of foam. Oh my.

  • The Stradivarius violin theft was part of a plot by Asian gangs? And was wrapped in a baby blanket? So says one of the suspects in an interview with Today’s TMJ4.
  • If you’ve been waiting to read some mail from Kelly Rindfleisch, the former aide to Gov. Scott Walker, here’s your chance. The Wisconsin State Journal reports that it will start combing through thousands of missives that are set to be released this morning. They stem from a secret email system, hidden in one of Walker’s office armoires, that was used during Walker’s 2010 gubernatorial campaign. WSJ is revealing its findings in a live blog.
  • Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett says you can help with the pothole epidemic. Not by shoveling some hot asphalt, but by reporting them to city officials. FOX 6 has a report explaining that and more about the war on potholes.
  • And finally, Courthouse News Service reminds you to be careful about those exploding cans of expanding foam sealant. And be really careful about getting the expanding sealant stuck in your ear canal.
