You Can't Take The Newport Out Of Newport On The Levee

From its scenic location to its popular entertainment offerings, Newport on the Levee has become the apple of every riverfront developer's eye. But in recent days, the Levee has attracted the attention of some less reputable folks, intent on walking off with a little bite of the big apple of local development, one logo'd chunk at a time.

Like at most malls and entertainment venues, signage and inexpensive furnishings are frequently reported stolen from Newport on the Levee. But over a recent two-day stretch, a couple of more expensive items disappeared.

The question is, why?

Why, for instance, would anybody risk felony theft charges to steal a big blue, $350 "Newport on the Levee" rug, which, it would seem, might look a lot out of place anywhere except ... Newport on the Levee.
