Legless Man Wanted in Pants Heist

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - Police in a Vancouver suburb were on the lookout for a legless man wanted for allegedly stealing 10 pairs of pants.

The wheelchair-bound man was one of two suspects who witnesses said fled a Gap Inc store in a West Vancouver shopping mall two days before Christmas, carrying trousers and jackets worth $1,600.

The men escaped from the crowded mall in a car that had previously been reported stolen, West Vancouver police said Friday.

$1600 worth???? Yeah, that guy is probably selling them on the black market and making good money! Do you blame him?

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the state of the modern criminal...a legless man stealing pants. That's all I have to say. :rolleyes:

I've read plenty of stupid criminal stories, but this one's a new one for me!

These are pants made of pure gold..right? Jackets made of diamonds? Like those diamond panties? Remember those? :rolleyes: :p

--in a Simpsons episode once? Herman the one-armed man selling cheaply-made bootleg pants out of Homer's garage during a poker game?
What next--a flat-chested lass swiping brassieres? ;)

Hey! The Gap may have been charging $1600 for them pants, but after looking at some of the junk they have in there, I say they may have been worth $1.60.
Or was that what they paid their laborers to make them? I lose track... :wakko:
