Thieves Body Slam Their Way Into Seattle-Area Market; Ravensdale Police Seek Clues

The Huffington Post   First Posted: 01/30/2012 1:15 pm Updated: 01/30/2012 1:15 pm

Two punks smashed their way through the front door of a Seattle-area market late Friday, making off with beer and cigarettes, and leaving a high-quality video in their destructive wake.

The footage, obtained by Q13-FOX, chronicles the bumbling crooks as they smash the glass front door of a Ravensdale market that night. After a few failed attempts, they take to using kicks and body slams to break through the entrance.

One of the perps, who lifted two 18-packs of Budweiser, was seen with panty-hose on his face, a blue jacket and black pants. Another young man can be seen stealing two armfuls of smokes.

The Kings County Sheriff's Office is on the lookout for the thieves -- and thanks to this video, they have technology on their side.

The age-old crime of burgling is getting more difficult because of tracking technology available with some high-end gadgets. For example, on iPhones and iPads -- some of the hottest items on the black market today -- a function called "Find My iPhone" has helped victims find the jerks who stole their Apple devices, according to iTWire.

The function can track a user's phone by way of GPS, providing victims and cops with a pinpoint location of the perp.

And that is all they grabbed? Grabbed cigarettes one by one in the pack, and they could of grabbed cartons. Only 2 eighteen packs of bud, and a couple of cigarettes, these guys are not very smart. If your going to risk the jail time over some beer and smokes, you think they would of grabbed a bit more, or even tried to get some money.

We will never know. Just like the "Bed Intruder" a couple years ago. They said they were gonna find them, but they never did.

Did the guy stealing the cigarettes ever think about putting them in a plastic bag instead of dropping them, all over the place?

There's no rhyme or rhythm to the antics of the lazy & stupid. They smashed a $500 tempered glass door for about $150 worth of goods, ruined the storekeeper's security & they'll pay probably $10k in legal fees when caught. Embarrassed parents & a legal system bulging at the seams..

If they stole $150 in groceries how can they pay $10k in legal fees..REALLY

Another end product of liberal entitlements, why work when you can muscle your way through life? Entitlements include being first in line at Disney World, free lunches, free houses, caddy in the driveway and of course, a paid for college degree that includes a lucrative position in a top 100 company after a bogus graduation. LOL.

This no longer suprises me. Kids these days (I'm barely an adult myself...) have no fear left in them. If I did this, and the law caught me..... I wouldn't make it to my court date. My parents would have settled the issue.
