Police arrested a man suspected of breaking into a Goodwill of Silicon Valley store in Palo Alto last week.
Police responded to a burglar alarm at 9:23 p.m. on May 5 at the closed Goodwill store at 4085 El Camino Way near West Meadow Drive in Palo Alto.
Officers found an open door at the back of the building, searched the store and found the man, a 55-year-old man of Amboy, Washington. He was wearing a pair of gloves stolen from the store, police said.
The man was arrested and booked into the Santa Clara County Main Jail.
Upon investigation, police discovered that the door he used to enter the store was likely unsecured.

Article should say, "Four days ago, in Palo Alto a man entered un unlocked door of a used goods store on a cold night, put on a pair of gloves he found inside the store and was subsequently arrested."
WWJD?
Meanwhile, I hear sirens going on all times of the day and night. No scanners, no news about what any of the alarms are about. Surely, there's more to report than an article about some homeless dude who could have taken anything he wanted, but instead ... took some freaking used gloves. He might have just been borrowing them with intentions of giving them back after the weather gets nicer.
