Man steals guitar off the sales floor!

[Fishheadjoe]

The local constabulary are seeking this individual as well as the getaway driver after one man stuffed a $8000 Gibson Les Paul down the back of his pants and ran out of the store!
It should be relatively easy to identify the guitar as it"s a left handed version. Buddy has nuts to spare as the whole thing was caught on video.

I don’t know how he had room in his pants for the guitar, especially with the massive cojones it takes to pull a stunt like that

Happened to a local store. A guy stuck a Les Paul under a long coat and made off with it

 

[Winslow]

That's one way to get a "warm tone."

That dumb little pinhead bun thingy was a crime unto itself.

Actually witnessed an identical theft attempt at a GC here locally. Same thing...stuffed the neck down his pant leg but at least he wore a bigger jacket to hide the body. But all for naught...once the sensors went off as he was exiting he couldn't exactly run away with a guitar down his pants. When caught, the stoner just laughed it off like it was no big deal.

probably not "big cojones." more likely low IQ + poor impulse control. who doesn't think they're being 'monitored' in today's shopping environments?

I’ve been told that’s just “thinking with the wrong head”

"Thinking" is likely giving this individual more credit then they are due...

There's two types of people in this world that I hate. Thieves and I can't remember the other kind.

Brazen theft is the new Thang. Seen videos of it happening where the crooks just walk out not even trying to hide the goods.

Yep...the newer laws here in California now say any theft under $980 is now considered a misdemeanor. If caught, they just get a ticket and are set free. Many of the large box stores in the San Francisco Bay area have now closed their doors as shop lifting losses are out of control.

The vids I've seen recently must be from CA then. Sad.

I believe that was a crime in Toronto

The op, yes. I saw a video clip a week or two ago of some people straight up chilling walking out of a store with armfulls of clothes.

Lol, I am always amazed by the ridiculously poor quality surveillance cameras that are used in places that have hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even millions of dollars worth of merchandise out in the open. Would have loved to see him get caught and try to run. Hope they catch him and he enjoys life as a felon.

They do have very clear pictures of the Perp after

Thieves and liars. That’s my two.

Not exactly new. Danny Gatton lost a tele when a thief walked up on stage while the band was on break and stuffed Danny’s guitar neck down a leg of his bib overalls and casually walked out of the club.
