Worst thief ever? Man tries to steal blind by stuffing it down his pants

NORTHAMPTON, England (WCMH) – Northampton police in England have asked local residents to come forward with information after a man stole a Venetian blind from a housewares store.

OK, I don’t expect that to grab your attention, but just look at the photo of the suspect caught on the store’s surveillance cameras.


I mean…

OK, so the play-by-play is this: The suspect enters the store, places the 7-foot-long blind up his jacket and down one of his pant legs, and leaves.

OK…

Store employees trailed him because – surprise! – they realized he was shoplifting.

The suspect ditched the blind at a nearby canal path before getting away. The blind was damaged as a result.

Police are still searching for the man seen in the surveillance photo.
