Maybe he needed some protein...

Stupidity strikes again.

It seems some wayward soul with nothing to do decided to rob the new feeders at Fountain City Lake. (Yeah, I still call it the duck pond, too.)

The thief managed to get away with the top half of the feeder. But all he got for his trouble was a bunch of protein pellets. Todd Howard, who installs and maintains the feeders, was smart enough to store the coins in concrete.

Times are tough. Maybe the moron needed the protein to balance his diet.
