Bellevue Starbucks Is Scene for Hitler Bookmark Bust

We know what you're thinking: Wait, Hitler had a bookmark? But this is a special bookmark from Eva Braun with a little note that says, "U & der Reich 4Eva!" (Now is probably a good time to mention we can't read German.) Anyway, the AP says, "Christian Popescu, a Romanian national, was arrested Tuesday outside a Bellevue Starbucks after trying to sell the bookmark to an undercover agent for $100,000." How sordid. No word on Popescu's choice of coffee beverages. How about it Bellevue Starbucks baristas? Did he order?
