Shoplifting

Using Body Fat To Shoplift

by Spy Gadgets on December 7, 2010

These two morons used their body fat to shoplift $2,600 worth of merchandise from a TJ Maxx store. Here’s just an example of what they had stuffed into their fat rolls: four pair of boots, three pair of jeans, a wallet and gloves. One of the “overfat” ladies had three boots concealed underneath her breasts and bra!

Stupid Criminals Go On High-Dollar Shoplifting Spree

They'll never catch me!

Police from Aspen, Colorado arrested two men this past week on suspicion of shoplifting high-dollar clothing, champagne and other expensive items. The shoplifting allegedly took place at six shops in Aspen and possible from other shops in Vail.

Authorities found almost 60 stolen items in their rental car – which included jackets from Marmot, Polo, North Face and others. Also found was six bottles of Cristal champagne and several Prada hats. All together the amount of stolen merchandise totaled $27,000. The suspects are each being held on $50,000 bail on charges of conspiracy, suspicion of theft, impersonation (impersonating someone that had a brain), possession of burglary tools and of course – possession of marijuana (“Hey, man – we didn’t steal the pot, man – we grew that stuff ourselves!).

Shoplifting Meat

Shoplifting is a skill for some stupid criminals – but for others, it’s a skill that needs a lot of work. Take this moron from South Carolina for example: 51-year-old Mark Zachary of Orangeburg was busted on August 26 of last year for shoplifting from Reid’s Grocery Store. When a store manager approached him about the big bulge under his shirt and a missing $80 New York Strip from the meat department, Zachary turned and ran. As he was sprinting out of the store, he ran right into the grasp of an off-duty police officer.

While Zachary maintains that he is innocent of this charge, this was not his first shoplifting offense (it was his ninth) and he was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Because of the long list of prior shoplifting charges against him, prosecutors said that the sentence was justified. What was his excuse for having the large slab of meat under his shirt? – He said that he was just “massaging the meat, not stealing it”.
