Sounds like they really, really wanted to get a redbox and just didn’t have a bank card..?
#anewlevelofincompetence…
Scan the card… BEEP!.. Here you go folks, its loaded and ready, just like both of you, Thanks for shopping at Walmart..😀
Later that night in a Broadway motel room…
Idiot 1) Hey babe? Put the pipe down, do you think that guy really put money on this card??
Idiot 2) I dunno, lets go back and try to buy something…
Idiot 1) great idea, God I love you…
Nah they got the receipt, I was there, they rang up the card for thousands like they paid but didn’t put in money. The card is active and its not easy to cancel it takes some time as they don’t have the card number on the receipt or inventory system. So then you go outside to the car and buy bitcoin online with the card via dark web market services on your cell phone with tor client.
No one can take the bitcoin from you or trace it, the transaction is not reversible and the money is yours instantly.
Welcome to the new age.
Does it look like they are really that smart?
Humboldt’s finest!
That’s a new MO. Hopefully there won’t be copycats.
Homer Simpson dreaming of robbing the Kwik-E-Mart comes to mind…..
Anyone want to wager what the neck and face tats look like?
Year of the vehicle but not the model? Makes no sense.
It’s probably a guess by staff that saw it, not an exact year.
It’s in the 2000’s years. Not actually a 2000.. but a 2000 or 2002 or 2005..
Ann D, you should write fiction! !
I’m pretty sure they needed to pay the IRS, they been calling us too but I refuse to give them a penny….
Haha
Well I just got that warrant that I didn’t even know I had lifted with a simple $500 Amazon gift card. It’s nice to see them accepting more forms of currency nowadays. Saved me a lot of foot work.
Whilst I’m not certain of your intent, I choose to take your response as a compliment but I must pose this question in return citizen Z…
Why write fiction when a particular subset of our population continues to provide such a lush and bountiful harvest of stories like this from which I can leisurely relax after my workday with an adult beverage and my commenting pipe (tobacco)… (Well usually tobacco) in hand, cherry-pick and freely ridicule, poke fun at and generally have a “good ‘ol time” enjoying our current reality. Rough translation.. This is too easy..😂
I’m really happy someone out there “got it” though.. 9 outta 10 times I figure I’m just cracking myself up..
Ciao..
People in humboldt are some of the dumbest. But multiply that by some walmart smarta and you got ine dumb son of a bitch
What are you that you hate yourself so much?
White.
Are you in the US? Did you say that people in the US are “the dumbest?” If you are in the US, and consider them “the dumbest”, then you are including yourself in the category of “the dumbest.” And that is pretty hateful to yourself. I can’t help it if you don’t understand what you are writing.
This happens all over the world, not just Humboldt… Don’t get out much do ya?
Ultra brainless moment!
So the richest, biggest retailer in America has no security cameras or alarms?
I forget what online news outlet I saw that had a picture of the woman. But Walmart has cameras everywhere, inside and out. You would think they would make them available to help track down these two and/or the car.
They have them, old terrible cameras that are almost no help,at all…
OK… so no pictures? There are cameras everywhere down there, and no pictures?
Look at the update
I’m sure law enforcement has identified the perps by now. But continue to bitch about the quality of the pics cause that helps a whole heck of a lot.
