Brangelina Photos Hiding Out in Massachusetts

memorycard.06.30.06.jpgLeave it to the F.B.I. to finally nab the real criminals in the United States today…the guys who stole the Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt baby shower photos! Despite the country being plagued with terror threats and now a new bin Laden tape, the F.B.I. was able to track down these photo thieves right here to Westfield, Massachusetts on Tuesday night.

It seems that camera shop employees, Bill Keyes and Adam Beckwith, had come across the memory card with the baby shower photos on it. The card was in a camera that once belonged to Angelina’s brother, who returned the camera to Best Buy in L.A. The camera was under warranty and sent to Keyes’ shop in Enfield, Conn to be serviced. (Are you still with us here?)

Believing they had struck gold, the two shop employees then began to shop around the pictures, sending out e-mails to the media asking what they’d be willing to pay to get the photos. Being the sneaky agents that they are, the F.B.I. was able to track the e-mail address to the Westfield home and showed up there earlier this week. Neither man broke any laws in Massachusetts, so they were not arrested. Yet, California state laws are a bit different and the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office is still investigating.

And who would have thought that the Brangelina photos would end up in Western Massachusetts?
