He was kind of overweight and having a hard time catching up, but he did it.

I got took for 50 bucks by a 'quick change artist' which I'd never heard of until it happened to me. <BR/><BR/>I think he probably would have gotten away with more had I not looked at a lady regular customer, sitting close by, and her eyes were all wide open and you could barely notice her shakin her head "no" which at that point I told the guy he was confusing me and that we were done and I slammed the register shut. <BR/><BR/>She told me after they'd left that I should let the manager know what happened, so that if my drawer came up short, we'd know why. I phoned him, he came down, took the drawer and all the tickets up to that point and sure'nuff ... 50 bucks short. <BR/><BR/>He called the police and I filled out a report describing them, what they ate and what kinda car they were driving when they left. It was in the paper the next day about those two 'who got away' with 'several hundred dollars' from 3 local restaurants ... <BR/><BR/>Sure learned a lesson that day! Not as dramatic as my being tear-gassed story, but worth a good nod of the head, eh?LauraBellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01258362594795521897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-49224269245152852832009-02-24T03:55:00.000-07:002009-02-24T03:55:00.000-07:00He...um...couldn't kick himself.

I trusted them, plus they were a couple of "popular" hotties and I was the geek that worked at Radio Shack.<BR/><BR/>As they were leaving, a brand new tape fell out of one of the girls' hidden grasp and crashed to the floor. The other girl tried to act surprised, "Oh, were you gonna buy that?"<BR/><BR/>She paid the $7.92, but man they were SO busted. And they weren't that hot any more, either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-85038313056103249252009-02-23T20:34:00.000-07:002009-02-23T20:34:00.000-07:00I was hoping for a "I-chased-him-down-in-the-parki...I was hoping for a "I-chased-him-down-in-the-parking-lot-and-beat-him-with-the-shoes" ending!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-19513556940594856922009-02-23T17:18:00.000-07:002009-02-23T17:18:00.000-07:00well, he's smarter than the average criminal.
