Westport Flea Market uses Facebook to catch a thief

Update (3:20 p.m. August 4): Westport Flea Market Joe Zwillenberg says he’s tracked down the guy who swiped one of the Flea’s Best Of Kansas City plaques.

Zwillenberg had taken to Facebook to find the guy, and hey, it worked. One of the thief’s friends saw the post and convinced him to give Zwillenberg a call.

“Not exactly like finding Bin Laden but it feels good,” Zwillenberg wrote in an e-mail.
