4th of July Burglary (noun)
a sensational burglary of the Seattle School District's legal office on July 4, 1999, though the burglary and the article that discussed it (The Olchefske Files) may have been part of a conspiracy, likely designed to both get rid of various documents that might be a liability and put the SPICE scandal to rest
Conspiracy theorists - why was the Seattle Weekly the only newspaper that reported on the 4th of July Burglary?
