More like, "which manager is telling Santa they want a new, clue-imbued 
employee for Christmas?"

I'm not too close to the story and I don't live in Los Angeles (I live and 
work 55-65 miles northeast of downtown), but it seems to me that the problem 
could have been avoided with a little more caution on the part of the person 
who cut the wires.
