Dave Moore.The suspect was spotted driving away from the store in the black truck seen here.

mikie Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I parked by the garden center at a large walmart. Went to tv department, busy place. Found the tv onsale, whole stack of them.. put one on a grocery cart.. rolled it into the garden center. Tt was starting to get super windy. You could tell it was fixing to rain hard reall fast. Instantly had a wall mart employee offering to help me take it to my car. Big guy looked like a security guard. I said thanks man, that would be great because its gotta come out of this big box & pra it fits in the car. We were out the gate to parking lot before I thought of it. I said; Hey man, I havent paid for this yet, the cops gonna get wet while we get arrested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
