After accountant Chandra Tourtelot allegedly embezzled $40,000 from Scoot Richmond, police were unable to track her down but Style Weekly found her with one Facebook request.

Two weeks ago, Style Weekly ran a Google search for Tourtelot and found her Facebook page. Tourtelot responded and accepted a request from a Style reporter to be her online friend within 40 minutes. With access to her Facebook page, Style found Tourtelot had posted pictures of a new car — a green Firebird — with a clearly visible license plate. The page included pictures identifying friends by name, showed her working on set in Chesterfield during a production of ABC’s “Supernanny” television show, listed New Millennium as her employer, gave a phone number and indicated that she lived in Midlothian.

An RTD article looking at people’s responses to rising gas prices leads off with a bit about how fuel efficient scooters. This is a good time for Manchester’s Scoot Richmond: shop owner Chelsea Lahmers said that she has sold as many 70-to-140 MPG scooters so far this year as she did all of last year.

A few folks from the recently reworked Brick Weekly visited Manchester’s Scoot Richmond and seemed to have a pretty good time (and did not wreck any of Chelsea’s scooters).
