Police Search for 'Meanest Man' Who is the meanest man in Anaheim? For his information, the police are all set to corral him at their earliest possible convenience, that is, if he makes the one fateful slip. Seems that the Rev. John K. Jung, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church, is minus some very important records due to the activities of a brief case snatcher. It's not the loss of a brief case that worries Reverend Jung, it is the important records he'd like returned to him. The "one fateful slip" mentioned, incidentally, could never be the return of the church records safely. It would be in going on to further "conquests".
