Doofus Of The Day #146


Our doofus today is an extremely unlucky shoplifter from Florida.


Authorities are looking for a shoplifter who was run over twice by her getaway car after stealing $1,200 worth of designer purses from a Cape Coral store. A T.J. Maxx security guard told police she saw a woman stuff six designer Dooney & Bourke purses into her pants Tuesday morning and walk out of the store. The guard said she was confronting the woman when a car pulled up.

A report said the shoplifter tried to get into the vehicle but fell out and was run over by the car. She then got up and jumped onto the hood of the car. As the car was driving away, the report said the woman fell off and was run over again. On her third attempt, she finally made it into the vehicle.

Police are using the car's license plate and a check the woman dropped to track her down.


Here's a hint for your next caper, duckie . . . hire a better getaway driver!!!

Not only a better driver, but it may not be a good idea to drop checks behind! Unless, of course, they're stolen...

Sheesh. She would have been better off trying to take off on a Segway.

I think everyone's missing the obvious question here:

How do you get SIX purses into your pants? And then still be able to walk, no less?

Did parachute pants come back into style and no one told me?

Granted, I'm not up to date on fine handbag design - so they could be considerably smaller than I'm thinking - but that still seems like a pretty interesting feat.
