You know, reporters don't have the most glamorous job. They have to write stories about city council meetings, profiles of people no one cares about and the really swell stories about entire families getting wiped out in house fires. I like to think that when something like this comes across the crime feed, it makes it all worthwhile:
Note to self: If you plan to shoplift, don't write a note planning out your day of theft and carry it with you.
That's what a man arrested last week for shoplifting at a Wal-Mart store appears to have done, according to a Winston-Salem police report.
Wal-Mart employees told police that they found the "to-do" note outside the store, stashed with clothing they had seen the shoplifter wearing. It was filed with arrest papers and lays out these steps in bullet points:
□ Catch the 6:00 bus to Wal-Mart & walk home
□ Cut hair off
□ Take a bath
□ Brush teeth & hair, get clothes on all black, or black design and black shirt & black shoes
□ Grab my bag
□ Go back to Wal-Mart & steal me an outfit.
The note then lists items, including a suit, CDs, a CD player and "crazy ass glasses."
