Link Worthless Wout pics of these girls to assist in my fantasy of being the security guy who gets to help reclaim the merchandise.

Wow, $8k? That's ambitious.
 
2005-03-19 09:30:38 PM
it was just one. big. thong.

Honey, is that Michael Bolton's version of "The Thong Song"?

 
2005-03-19 10:01:17 PM
Wow, and I thought Sisqo's 15 minutes had expired. The submitter is apparently going to find out below how many people get his headline and remember the hot song of 2000.

I swear something involving a woman and thousands of dollars with of Victoria's Secret underwear was in the Boston news like a month ago.
 
2005-03-19 10:35:54 PM
(slips outta thong) I swear officer, these are mine!!
 
2005-03-19 10:55:11 PM
Wait . . . had they been stockpiling stuff in the car, or did they steal it all in one day?

Cuz, that's pretty industrious thieving, if they did.
 
2005-03-19 11:41:32 PM
Is it just me, or is that a headline that will now have you pouning your fist into your head all night long?

all night
all night
all night long
all night

Is that better or worse?

2005-03-19 11:54:09 PM
That picture of sisqo broils my turkey.
 
2005-03-19 11:56:14 PM
I'm just trying to figure out why Sisqo was revived for this particular headline.

That's nothing. One time, I stole a whole throng.
 
2005-03-20 12:02:18 AM
How it is that anyone can publicly and repeatedly perform a dumb song about thongs and still take themselves that seriously is beyond me.
 
2005-03-20 12:02:33 AM
$8,000 is completely possible for a professional. Now what they actually get for them would be a different story.
 
2005-03-20 12:06:27 AM
I can just picture the squad room. Every where you look detectives whiffing the evidence.
 
2005-03-20 12:10:04 AM
Wait, do you want some cinnamon before you go?

/Obscure?
 
2005-03-20 12:11:20 AM
Why can't the retailer be more christlike and turn the other cheek?
 
2005-03-20 12:14:45 AM
I work for the retailer, we are very christlike--we get crucified daily
 
2005-03-20 12:21:23 AM
Was it an itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny yellow polka dot thong bikini?

/hey, everyone else was quoting the hit parade!
 
2005-03-20 12:57:51 AM
Bravo, submitter. My accolades.
 
2005-03-20 01:24:57 AM
1998 called, it wants its headline back.
 
2005-03-20 01:29:42 AM
that is why if i were borned a man i'd definitely be gay
 
2005-03-20 01:30:12 AM
They couldn't have been white or they wouldn't have gotten caught.

What?
 
2005-03-20 01:32:01 AM
Angry feminist mode: How are "women shoplifters" different from *regular* shoplifters?? Sure, 55% of shoplifters are male, but it's hardly enough of a majority to need to differentiate. The thong business in the title guaranteed this article's "click-through-ability". /End screechy feminist flame bate
 
2005-03-20 01:33:08 AM
Then again, they must have been white because a black woman can't even look too hard at a $2.99 pair of granny panties. Security would have had them on lock down way before the $8K mark.
 
2005-03-20 01:34:41 AM
they have to start learning to steal like chinese
 
2005-03-20 01:35:28 AM
This thread is useless without pics of HOT chix wearing da thong, tho-tho-tho thong. Right On!

I hate you, CrazyBob.
 
2005-03-20 03:01:27 AM
She's hot.
 
2005-03-20 03:33:15 AM
CrazyBob, I think it only counts as a thong if it was *meant* to be a permanent wedgie.

"Arrested were Monica Barbosa, 32, of Queens, N.Y., and Anparo Cruz, 43, of Stamford. They were charged with second-degree larceny and possession of a shoplifting device.

Police say they had a device called a booster bag that allowed them to take clothes out of stores without activating magnetic sensors designed to deter theft."


What kind of bag is that?
Faraday by Gucci?

Is it me, or does boston.com take forever to load?
I always think it is a one time issue, but everytime I go there, months apart, it takes at least 45 seconds to load, and usually more. Maybey its the route from comcast in seattle. It loads slower than any other site I have ever been too. And this is BOSTON..... the technology is there.

i like crazyBob's pic.... more cushin for the pushin

Should'a just bought a cheap roll of dental Floss..
 
2005-03-20 07:12:34 AM
ya thats the pd where i work, they were a couple of doozies..id prolly drive very carefully if I had 8k of stolen merch in my car

ah well, 8k of clothes for 50 buck worth of steel bracelets :)
 
2005-03-20 08:51:43 AM
o/~ Once, when I was five! o/~

/grammar nazi time... "two women shoplifters" is improper usage. "Two female shoplifters" would be correct. Think about the phrase "two men shoplifters," and call me in the morning, submitter.

Just when I thought I escaped the misery of Sisqo...
 
2005-03-20 10:03:49 AM
I believe a booster bag is 2 shopping bags with a lining of aluminium foil in between.
 
2005-03-20 10:44:44 AM
CracyBob, you have ruined my life

No need to thank me

I don't understand the headline. I gather it has something to do with one of Sisqo's songs. Lame.

You asked for it, CrazyBob gave it to you. I think I'm going to be sick.

Farkneedswomen:

In this case, that was an appropriate usage. When a Farker hears about large amounts of women's underwear being stolen, he immediately pictures a male pervert (thanks largely to the nation of Japan). Thus, it meets the "you'd assume something different" test.

stfu. I don't hear you biatching about how every single headline involving a male Darwinizing himself specifies the gender, thereby promoting the stereotype of men in general as stupid. So unless you think women are in need of some sort of special protection in this case, kindly take your gynocentric double-standard and fark off.
 
2005-03-20 09:34:36 PM
I just read the article to see if the names were like "Ramirez" or "Shaniqua".
I like to reinforce my own prejudices, and keep them strong.
