How did Pat pull that off?


Yep. That’s Rachel Maddow.


I find it utterly unimaginable why those items weren’t held under lock & key as major box stores are doing these days. Now, maybe?


This one is baffling – $40,000 in electronics? Really? Did he drive off with a truck full of items that hadn’t been unloaded yet? I don’t spend a lot of time in Target’s electronics section, but I have to imagine most items are a couple of hundred dollars. I guess he could have taken 40 iphones (which I think are locked up) or ten huge TVs at $4,000 each, but that would have taken several trips in and out. I’d really like to hear some details on how he got 40 thousand dollars worth of anything out of the store.


It’s Pat
