Perfume bandits hit Spring H-E-B

[matefrio]

Ok, seven men, coordinated attack, all caught on security cameras. Boosting perfume? Is there really that much $$ to be made off of perfume?

Dry run for another type of theft?

Seven men walked into the store and went to the cosmetics counter, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office. While some of the men spoke with employees to distract them, others broke into locked cases containing perfume.
They stuffed several boxes of fragrances into a container and then dashed out of the store with the pilfered perfume.
Four of the men left through the front door and the others left through a fire exit.

Maybe it was practice. A dry run for something bigger like a bank or jewlery store.

That one feller looks a LOT like M2....if it is, then he's likely wearin' it.<he's a tad strange....>

This whole thing stinks...

I bet it's extremely lucrative.

The perfume boxes aren't serial number controlled like consumer electronics so if they sell the items on eBay or Craigslist there is no way to trace the merchandise to the point of origin. I think it's a clever heist and like T.R. said, $50-$150 per small bottle. You can fit a lot of them in a duffle bag and sell four bottles at a time online to not draw attention to yourself.

You know, times are tough. . . . . and having several girlfriends is tougher.

So, are their girlfriends they type that:
A) See how expensive the gift is and are impressed or
B) Love how their man screwed the system and was so brave as to steal it for them.
