Thread: wow what idiots!!

This couple went on the Dr Phil show and they were bragging about making money by shoplifting. THESE PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS!!!

From The Associated Press

A couple who went on national television to brag about making $100,000 shoplifting and selling their loot on eBay is under investigation by federal agents.

Matthew and Laura Eaton of San Marcos appeared on the "Dr. Phil" show last fall to share their story, aided by a video of their three small children accompanying them on a three-day shoplifting binge.

Last week the Secret Service and other members of the multi-agency San Diego Regional Fraud Task Force searched their home and seized toys, a car and other belongings.

The Eatons have not been arrested or charged. The couple hired an attorney with the United Defense Group in Los Angeles to represent them, but the firm said Thursday they would not comment on the case.

Dave Hillen, a detective at the San Diego County sheriff's office, said he investigated the Eatons for shoplifting before their television appearance.

Last August he received a complaint from a Target store in Vista that the couple had stolen a LEGO kit and confronted them at their home. Hillen said he noticed a pile of unopened toys in the family's garage, but the Eatons claimed they sold the toys online.

He said the couple admitted stealing the LEGOs and he filed a misdemeanor case with the district attorney's office.

They appeared on the show several months later, telling Dr. Phil McGraw that they made $3,500 in one week from selling stolen toys. Matthew Eaton called the thefts "easy money."

FAIL.

I just want to see the look on their faces as they try to answer their kid...

"Mommy...why is the police-man taking away all my toys"

Because you touch yourself at night

Not a bad way to make money if you ask me.

$3200 a week, sure doesn't sound idiotic to me.

What for shop lifting? Guess who pays for that in the end? The consumer.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why our country is slowly eroding.

What in the blue hell were they thinking? I'm actually sitting here, at the computer, stunned. The story speaks for itself. Let's just hope that these people are never allowed to operate heavy machinery, take up a government job on any level, take up a job, or receive any responsibility - large or small - for the rest of their lives.

Common sense is quite uncommon.

The sheer stupidity of these people really just makes me sit with my head in my hands, wondering what will become of the human race.
