Cop Out

Tuesday, October 9th, 2007 • Filed under Theft

For the life of us, we don’t understand why anyone would commit this crime. Unless, of course, they were really really drunk, then it’s mystery solved, my dear Watson.

According to Ananova, someone stole a cut out of a cop used by a supermarket to deter thieves.

Police said the cardboard cut out had been doing a good job of deterring thieves from stealing things from the store. Too bad they couldn’t get another cut out to watch the stolen cut out.

The thief didn’t break into the store or stay in after hours. He paid for his groceries, then grabbed the life size cut out and walked out with it. He got away with the cut out, but reportedly forgot to pick up some milk.

The good news is police have a suspect. They caught the thief on tape stealing the cop cut out. The cut out’s family are reportedly happy to have their father returned home safely.

    Hey, I was the cut out and I don’t appreciate you trivialising such a traumatic time in my life!

    Don’t hold this against me i’m just trying to put a dumb post in every thread so i get famous.

    Before any of you “crazies” start fixing my spelling for trivialising we spell it with an “s” in Australia just to piss people like you off!

    Before any of you ask, yes i am the bush tucker man, I chase Crocodiles on Kangaroos and Dingo’s eat my babies all the time.
