Crime in Kannapolis, from the Daily Independent in February 1956:

Two Thomasville brothers who formerly lived in North Kannapolis were held in North Kannapolis jail Saturday night after they were reportedly caught stealing items of merchandise from a car parked in North Kannapolis early Saturday night. James Junior Stephens, 23, and Cletus Franklin Stephens, 18, lived on Blackwelder road before moving to Thomasville several months ago, allegedly admitted thefts from cars parked in front of the Main theater in Jackson Park and the Dixie theater on South Main street here.

Cecil Corriber of Landis told North Kannapolis officers shortly after 7 o'clock Saturday night that he came out of the Main theater and found two men removing a case of motor oil from his parked car to a nearby car belonging to them. Upon investigation he discovered other items from his car that had been transferred to the other car, he said, and while he was placing a call to police the suspects fled in their car. Corriber obtained part of the license number of the disappearing automobile, and the information was relayed to the sheriff’s office in Salisbury by radio.

Sometime later Salisbury police officers found the car parked in a “no parking” zone and, after having it towed away they became suspicious and arrested the men while they were searching for their missing car. North Kannapolis police said the men admitted the theft and told them they had stolen a quantity of tools and other items from a car parked in front of the Dixie theater earlier to the evening. Officers said the men will be served warrants and moved to the Rowan County Jail in Salisbury.

That’s kind of an odd double feature. Strange Brew was a vehicle for the McKenzie Brothers, from SCTV. Kind of a one-joke act. Then of course you have the Rocky fans going to see him beat up Clubber Lang for the eleventh time.
