Title: I Stopped Crime Today. Post by: Mike Leon on August 23, 2007, 12:20:20 AM Today I was standing around in Best Buy waiting for the Geek Squad to finish doing something I can do myself and then tell me something I already know when I saw some tard-bag trying to steal games.
I knew something was up for 2 reasons: 1. He was holding an XBOX carrying case. No one EVER buys and XBOX carrying case. They exist only to fill shelf space. 2. He was looking over his shoulders like Salmon Rushdie on vacation in Kabul. I was bored, so I decided to intervene. I circled him once just to let him know I was on to him. He dropped his shit and walked to another isle. So I walked over to where he was standing. The dude had stacked 6 copies of Madden '08 for 360 right next to the XBOX carrying case. The rest of his plan should be pretty obvious. So the re-re came back and started trying to load the games into the carrying case right next to me. I said something totally emphatic and inane like "You sure are buying a lot of copies of Madden, Mister. I bet you can have a serious LAN party with all of those." He said somebody must have left them laying there and he was just putting them back. Then he split. This is just more evidence that I'm a super hero. Title: Re: I Stopped Crime Today.

I'm sure in a couple month's madden 08' will be sitting in the $5.00 bin at my local pawn's.

Title: Re: I Stopped Crime Today. Post by: BadEnoughDude on August 23, 2007, 08:08:24 PM I can almost envision the scene from Empire Records :) You should have waited until he made a move with his package and then chased him down. It really would have added a special element to your story!

Title: Re: I Stopped Crime Today. Post by: James on August 24, 2007, 10:05:27 AM This one time, in Cornwall, we were in a supermarket and someone picked up a Cornish Pasty and walked out with it. Then he came back in and picked another one up. Then mum said "Are you going to pay for that?" Then he walked out and didn't come back. 8)
True story. Title: Re: I Stopped Crime Today. Post by: Mike Leon on August 25, 2007, 02:12:31 PM I am a super hero. And I enjoy being an ass to low class thugs.
I was there dealing with the Geek Squad over my sister's laptop, which she insisted they should look at. After they scanned it and found nothing wrong, they offered to take it in for a "more advanced diagnostic" for $199.99. She was going to pay for it too. Luckily, I finished pwning ghetto trash just in time to walk over and stop that transaction. I prevented all kinds of rip-offs that day. Title: Re: I Stopped Crime Today. Post by: Hydrobond on August 25, 2007, 02:29:43 PM $199.99 for a damn checkup? Getting a checkup from a medical doctor isn't even as expensive as that.
What the hell do they even check? Did they mention what they are looking for? Title: Re: I Stopped Crime Today. Post by: Izret101 on August 25, 2007, 03:07:42 PM They run Spambot Search and Destroy.
Title: Re: I Stopped Crime Today. Post by: Mike Leon on August 26, 2007, 11:37:30 PM That's pretty much all they could possibly do. There's no question the check-up is a ginormous scam.
I should get into the business. I could charge half what Best Buy does for the same shit and make a fortune. Title: Re: I Stopped Crime Today.
