Tomorrow's Voice has one of the better con-man stories we've read in quite some time. A 21-year-old, 300-pound black man named Andre Roper, fond of wearing pink sunglasses and Marc Jacobs bags, weaseled his way into Dalton and Duke grad "Allison"'s life (sadly, she's only identified here by her middle name), sneaking into her apartment while she was off gallivanting around Europe for the summer (on an "education trip") and having tons of parties with "preppy-looking" kids drinking and smoking pot.

Oh, and he stole her iPod, and her video camera (but she didn't realize that until much later), and overdrew her bank account by $20,000. He also stole close to a million dollars from some random company in Brooklyn; apparently you can just call up Chase, pretend to work for a company, and ask to have money transferred into your bank account! Talk about service journalism.

Anyway, we feel bad for Allison—really, we do. But not that bad. She's 24, worked as an elementary school teacher, and had a "20th-floor apartment in a luxury building near Union Square," and so many electronics she couldn't even keep track of them. Also, "she had chosen the store based on a recommendation from her mother, who claimed that practically every woman on the Upper East Side had purchased her first cell phone there."

Oddly, this story of course came from under the regime of now-former editor David Blum. Maybe he was finally righting the ship! We'll never know, but perhaps this was what he had in mind when he made that infamous comment about people from Flatbush.
