Hands down, crime is one of the more popular topics on Fairlawn-Bath Patch, so we rounded up the three most popular crime stories this week, in case you missed it.

1. What would you do if someone randomly walked up to you and snapped your picture because they thought what you said to someone else was offensive? That's what this guy did and the outcome wasn't so hot.

2. A Barberton man had a creative way (not that Patch is condoning it, of course) of stealing from Walmart. Find out how he got away here.

3. Two employees of Akron General Medical Center had their wallets stolen one day at work. Little did they know they were victims of a statewide crime ring.
