Local music writer Dave Allen also works at Brauhaus Schmitz (718 South St.), and he just shared some disturbing news with us � sometime this weekend (most likely Saturday night), the German beer bar's autographed David Hasselhoff poster (subject of a September WWE?) was pilfered from the second-floor restroom. No one seems to have seen the large framed poster make an exit out of the front door, which has led to some speculation that someone actually unscrewed it from the wall, removed the screen in the bathroom window and lowered the thing onto Kater Street behind the bar, kinda like a drunk-ass Thomas Crown Affair.
If you have any information that may lead to the recovery of The Hoff poster and/or the capture of this apparent master poster thief, please come forward.
UPDATE [23nov09]: Brauhaus Schmitz owner Kelly Schmitz-Hager confirms to Meal Ticket the Hoff was most definitely shimmied out of the bathroom window � they found the removed screen on the street the next morning. She says the bar will likely wait about a month for The Hoff to make it back before giving up and replacing the pic with something else, but in the meantime, they've put up a reward. "One free boot of beer to whoever returns it," says Kelly. "No questions asked."
