Okay, this spun my mind for a second last night

The story was sent in via email by Chuck, and the headline reads:

Nearly half a million dollars in luxury goods robbed at Malibu Lumberyard

and I'm thinking "What the fuck? A half million bucks worth of luxury goods at a lumber yard? What did they get, a whole pallet of 3/8" plywood or what?"
I might add I was stone cold sober, too. Seriously.

Anyway, here's the story and Chuck was kind enough to point out that the paper actually got all politically incorrect and called the race.

A brazen robbery in broad daylight occurred at the Malibu Lumberyard shopping center shocking bystanders and store clerks.

  1. Honestly, if I owned a store and someone came in in the summer wearing a zipped up hoody I'd presumptively plan on shooting them. Especially in California, Texas, some other warm climate.

  2. handbags.... Insurance companies are gonna quit insuring expensive stuff if this keeps up. Good thing they aren't killing or maiming anyone. At least I hope they aren't.

    Back in the late 60's and early 70's, Texas had a lot of liquor store robberies. They were pretty brutal at times and left quite a few folks dead or severely wounded. The response in Houston and Lubbock (probably other cities too) at the time was 'shotgun squads'. They would post an officer at a likely store and arrest was a secondary goal. Ending the robbery right now was first priority. It took a few days for news to travel after several robberies ended in a bright flash. And that was that.

  3. I find it really odd that insurance companies haven't been screaming bloody murder about the cops letting the nignogs cost them billions burning down cities as well.
    Real curious, that.

  4. Half a million? More like, a hundred thousand, with the store claiming half a million dollar loss,with the insurance company pony up for the full amount. So not only did the store get robbed, but they also robbed the people as well, by defrauding the insurance company, which just passes the cost along to the consumer, via higher insurance costs.
    I have always said, corporations don't pay taxes, when liberals cry "make big corporations pay their fair share!". The idiots don't get that they themselves will be paying the extra cost, when the companies raise the price on goods, rather than just absorb the higher cost themselves.

  5. If six people took half a million in one trip? That's $83,000 apiece. Isn't that something like four to eight thousand dollars for each purse?
