Read this story before you see it on TV

It's the feelbad story of the day: Elderly couple has their handicap ramp stolen. And you know it's going to be all over the airwaves (to be followed up by a heartwarming story involving a local carpenter volunteering to build them a new one for free). But get a jump on tonight's news and read about it now.

Via Dan O'Brien, who broke the story for the Wakefield Item and who wonders why TV stations never give small papers credit for the stories they get from them.
