Outstanding arrest warrant for indecent exposure?

Good thing they were dumb enough to return to the store! Made it easier for the security guards!

Okay, I have to know...did the person who wrote this headline get a high-five after working the word "bag" into it? :)

This is the same thing that happened @ the Walnut Creek Nordstrom about two months ago, same dept same schtick.

after escaping from security officers, what kind of idiot shoplifter returns to the scene of the crime an hour and a half later?

"... idiot shoplifter..."

Isn't that an oxymoron?

"possession of methamphetamines"

This explains a LOT of things regarding the stupidity of their actions. I hate this drug and the people who distribute it. The sad thing is that these two will never really have the chance to "go straight", because they will never be free of this stuff. It's too addictive, too destructive, too evil.

No, I think you mean "duplication of terms." Why don't we ask Linsey Logan about this?

Career criminals that need a new career. They are obviously too stupid even for this pitiful occupation.

Gethin, Notice that the article mentions they had methamphetamines on them. One might assume that they used them, right? Isn't that stuff like a stupid pill? Since that stuff is 100% addictive in first-time use, they were addicts. The stuff has a VERY strong pull, but at the same time it makes you dangerous and irrational. It is not really easy to hold a job while addicted to that stuff, but you HAVE to get more as a desperate matter, and soon. Not many options left after you spent all your money, sold or traded your possessions, and you have no income, gotta steal something.

Granted that trying that stuff in the first place is a pretty stupid thing to do, but the temptation to "try anything once" is there. The trouble is that once is far too much when it comes to methamphetamines. Trying it is life-altering, and in a VERY bad way. But these people don't realize that when they try it.
