I was trying to write a witty headline

'Costco' for stolen property busted in Oakland says the headline. On the front page, the Chron describes it as "Oakland 'Costco' Busted." Oakland 'Costco'? For most cities, Cityname 'Costco' would be a Costco-like entity located in Cityname. Maybe it's a popular flea market or something. In Oakland, though, apparently a mere mention of the name of the city is sufficient to communicate that they're talking about a criminal version of 'Costco," with 'Oakland' serving as a synonym for 'criminal.'
