L.A. Times subscribers burglarized after requesting vacation holds Bonus: Most readers weren't burgled. Note: If the paper stops telling the distributor, "Don't deliver to so-and-so for the next three weeks, he's on vacation," and starts telling the distributor, "Don't deliver to so-and-so for the next three weeks," that's another way of saying no one's home. If the paper instead treats each hold request as a cancellation and the hold-lifting as a subscription renewal, AAM [the old ABC] may not be happy.
Quote:
The Times said it has launched an internal review and has cooperated with the sheriff's department.
"Our customers can rest assured that no financial information was involved and that these robberies, while terribly unfortunate, are likely limited to a small section of the vast area we cover," Director of Communications Hillary Manning said in a statement.
But going forward, the newspaper said it will no longer share vacation information with distributors.
