STEALING CHRISTMAS

     Christmas is coming fast and I'm sure everyone is doing most of their Christmas shopping online, which means UPS and the Postal Service are busy delivering packages of Christmas gifts all around the country. But what if you tracked your package and it stated that the package was already delivered to your house days ago. Is it possible that the package was delivered to the wrong house? What if it was stolen right off your doorstep? 

     That's what happened in Macomb Township in Michigan when two teens went on a stealing spree re-creating Dr. Seuss' "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." 18-year-old Brandon Joel Chait and 19-year-old Brandon Maier Ancell were arrested this past Thursday after stealing packages from people's front doors. All I can say is that you can put this under the "WTF is Wrong with People" column. 

     The teens were caught by a quick-thinking neighbor who saw them taking a Macy's package from his neighbor's front door. As he saw them leave, he took his phone out, took a quick photo and called the police. While police were investigating the first report, they received another saying that the teens were seen taking off in a two-door dark blue 2010 Nissan Altima. The police followed their tracks and eventually found them at a red light. When the police pulled the teens over, they found 26 stolen packages in the car, which included cups, clothing and even dog food. 

     The teens were charged with $200- $1000 in larceny and their car was impounded. They were both granted a personal bond of $5,000. One of the teens was also charged with possession of marijuana. What a set of balls on these kids! First of all, that is not only theft, it's also tampering with mail, which is a Federal offense. Second of all, what the hell is wrong with you? I mean, who does this? Thankfully, one of the victims had a neighbor who thought on their toes. Then again, how did these boys know whether certain houses had cameras or not. Regardless, what a bunch of morons!
