Nothing expresses the Christmas spirit better than a little burglary. Loser, permanent naughty list


GRINCH!


That’s funny. Probably walked it right by the police station.


Best thing about criminals–they are stupid. Too dumb to think there might be cameras. Undoubtedly people will recognize this thief and he’ll be caught–well, unless he’s from out of town. That he’s walking down 6th street means probably lives right there in south GB.
