Today I got to sleep in late, woke up to a beautiful sunny day and the first news story I read was about a one-legged man shoplifting mascara into his empty pant leg. What a great way to start the day! The one-legged man was in Rite Aid looking for bargains when he decided that instead of taking his purchases to the register, he would stuff them down his vacant pant leg (he folds the empty leg up and pins it shut... this is just plain wrong on so many levels!) Into his pants went perfume, mascara and a navigation system. He was caught on the surveillance video camera when the manager viewed it the next day. Sure enough, police went to the robbers home and found the items he stole. My long-time readers know I blog about every pants stuffing robber I find. This one is unique because of the combination of the items stolen and the mans creative use of his pant leg. Of course nothing tops the man who shoved live lobsters in his pants; the man who had live birds in his pants during an 18-hour flight and the man who somehow managed to get 20 pounds of frozen shrimp in his pants. Oh, and also the lady who hid the hot dog from 7-11 in her pants, then pulled it out after she left the store and began eating it gets honorable mention.
