How not to shoplift......

[Hon'ya-chan]

1. Don't wear a High-Visibility Vest
2. Don't try to shoplift a 40 Kilogram Train Set.
3. Try to be in shape first if you do try and steal a huge Train Set.
4. Don't be inebriated.
5. And maybe shoplift alone?

What a idiot. It's like saying "watch me, watch me, watch me I will do something illegal."

[One-Fang]

Why not? How many idiots now have said to their mates "Film me while I do something illegal" and then that footage gets into cop hands? It's endemic. I don't know if stupidity is on the increase, or just the reporting of it.

o.O What the hell? Talk about stupid.

1. Don't wear a High-Visibility Vest

At the Novelty Store back in Phoenix, some jackass grabbed our VCR and ran out the door. He was wearing a multi-colored serape (similar to this one). Now, even in a city with a large Hispanic population, very few people wear serapes, so this turkey stood out like the proverbial sore thumb. I chased him down, yelling for security, we caught the jackass and got our VCR back and he got a stay in the Gray Bar Hotel (this was before Joe Arpaio and his Tent City).

I guess the moral is, if you're going to be dumb enough to shoplift, don't compound that stupidity by wearing something that stands out a mile and makes it easy to spot you.

The next story we'll read about is some moron in a bright yellow Spongebob shirt who tried to steal a 100 pound TV.

.....Should I tell her? I think I should tell her.

Guess what happened at my local Wally World a few years back!

If you guessed some turkey trying to steal a TV while wearing a bright yellow Spongebob t-shirt you win a slice of Tiramisu!

Hahaha...........I swear I never heard you tell that story.

I was thinking of Spongebob because while grocery shopping today, I saw some really cute hot pink Spongebob shirts in the girls' section and sometimes I can squeeze into a large kid's shirt.

I can't tell you that, but I can tell you that I've seen footage of someone stealing a fully dressed xmas tree from a now defunct store. While he was running down the road with this 7 foot tree over his shoulder you could see the plug bouncing along the pavement as he ran...

You people are amusing me far too much right now.......did it look like the tree was running up and down the street? Runaway tree!
