So before work, I figured out the drinks machine was busted and walked over to Starbucks to get a venti chai. As I was leaving, some guy in a hoodie went running out of the door by Borders chased by a guy in a yellow shirt. It took me a second to figure it out, but the guy in the yellow shirt was one of those door guys from Best Buy.

So the hoodie guy goes running across the four lanes of traffic in front of the mall, and halfway across, the Best Buy guy loses his shoe on the median. And the hoodie guy runs off with this great big triumphant smile on his face -- right in the direction of the security guards from the apartment complex across the street.

*evil giggling*

Okay, show of hands, people. Who gets to be the greatest criminal mastermind on the planet this week?

Hoodie Guy! Put your hand down!

Bwahahahaha.

The Yellow Shirt Guys at Best Buy are the store's security force, as I understand it.

I'm reminded of the Stainless Steel Rat's realization that you can't learn to be a criminal mastermind in prison. Because the good criminals don't get caught.

The cops I worked with told me about a guy who robbed a store and was released on bail. Apparently he thought once wasn't enough. So after walking out with something else he thought was too much trouble to pay for, he sees some of the cops hanging around on a break or something, so he takes off running... directly into the path of an oncoming car.

Yep, he's in the hospital now. -grins-

Yep, that's one of the first things I noticed when the Best Buy opened near here recently. The one near me is part of a mall, leaving only two exits: one to the outside, and one to the rest of the mall. Posted at each exit, there's one person at a podium that checks people's bags and receipts, making sure everything matches up.

There are three attempted robbers in Australia who should be removed from consideration for that award. They were trying to kick open the front door of a seafood restaurant. Problem is, it wasn't a swinging door; it was a sliding door. They got away, but without gaining anything...

Conversely, someone did rob one of Ozzy Osbourne's houses...
