Today's must-read news item of the day comes to use from beautiful downtown Fontana:
An armed robber who sneaked up on a bicyclist Sunday night didn't want the man's money, wallet or anything else of great value.

"He approached him from behind, saying, `Give me your tacos,"' said police Sgt. Jeff Decker. "He grabbed the bag of tacos, punched him in the face and began to flee."
