Monterey County Sheriff’s Office said today that the Sept. 25 heist appears to be something else: a scam by one or both of the alleged victims, an aspiring lawyer who once sold puppies and a retired Harvard Medical School professor.

“This whole thing stinks,” said sheriff’s Cmdr. Mike Richards, after explaining at a news conference here that the men were the case’s only suspects. “We’re trying to determine what type of criminal enterprise they may be involved in.”

Cuneo Huit

Check that picture in Cedar Street Times – SOMEBODY please send these guys for some grooming.

It took three rounds of nominations and votes to appoint Cuneo, and when the council appeared (on the fourth vote) unable to garner the four votes necessary to fill the vacancy left, they swore Cuneo in and added his vote. He promptly nominated two additional candidates — Dan Miller and Richard Ahart, both of whom ran unsuccessfully in the November, 2008 election with Cuneo — but when it came down to the vote, Cuneo went for Robert Huitt
