So once again I made my yearly visit this afternoon to the parking lot of the mall near my home. With me were fifteen prettily wrapped boxes (dollar store shiny paper and bows) containing numerous droppings from my dogs nestled within folds of tissue paper. All were quite fresh and ripe.
I parked my car and took out one of the boxes from my trunk. I then proceeded to walk up to the mall’s doors, stood for a moment or two at the doors to let anyone who had witnessed me walking either get to their car or into the store, walked back down to my car and acted as if I was trying to find my keys in my pocket. I next hurriedly dropped the box on the trunk of my car and rushed back to the mall’s doors in a mock panic as if I had forgotten something inside.
I stood just inside the doors and watched through the glass to see what happened next. Sure enough, within two minutes someone would walk by the box, look around quickly to see if anyone was around who might own it, then snatch up the box and run to their car.
All fifteen boxes were gone within forty-five minutes. Not one soul attempted to take the box into the mall to leave with security or an information booth. Had anyone tried to do that, I would have run back out of the mall and thanked them for finding my lost gift.
My wife says I am pure evil. I say the thieves got what they deserved. In any case, I had fun.
