Apparently, it was a hugely disappointing holiday shopping day for two women in Edmond, Oklahoma. While expecting an enormous haul for their holidays, they ended up with a big fat nothing....expect for the marks on their police records.
Face it. You just can't pass on a story with a headline that reads.....
Women accused of hiding merchandise in body fat
EDMOND, OK -- Two women arrested for shoplifting used their bodies to conceal the goods. Edmond police say it was at the TJ Maxx that loss prevention officers found the duo stuffing items under their belly fat and breasts.
It was said the women took four pair of boots, three pair of jeans, a wallet and gloves; $2,600 worth of store merchandise.
Ailene Brown, 28, and 37-year-old Shmeco Thomas were arrested for shoplifting and are facing felony charges.
Officer James Hamm said, "These two were actually concealing them in areas of their body where excess skin was, under their chest area and armpits."
They also had a knife hidden in a purse that they used to cut off store security tags.
Now I wish I could remove my brain and scrub the image this story created right out of my mind. As I read this, I was constantly stopping to swallow the vomit that formed at the back of my throat and mumbling - Ewwwww. Lifting the fat under their armpits??? Bellies??? And Boobs??? ARMPITS!!!! Just how fat are these two? And who let them out of the freak show at Ringling Bros to go shopping? Oh, God! Now the who thing is replaying in my mind again. Aaaaaaa....help me.
Okay, now that I have that out of my system, let's review the facts. The first thing that strikes me is that they actually carry a purse (or purses). Then again, maybe they needed the purses in order to clear out space for all the stuff they planned to pilfer in their fat rolls.
The second is the shear volume of stolen merchandis: FOUR pairs of boots; THREE pairs of jeans (can you imagine the size of those jeans?); and a wallet and gloves. Why bother with the wallet and gloves? Maybe that's where the armpit folds came into play. Urrrp. Sorry, I threw up into my mouth again.
Last, can you picture the looks on the loss prevention officers' faces as they searched for the shoplifted loot? I am sure as they gagged back the up-chuck bubbling from their stomachs, one of them blurted out "What the Hell?"

What the Hell? Sounds more like "What the F*CK?" to me!
(Maybe if they didn't eat so much they could afford to actually BUY stuff!)
I've seen patients who've hidden (or lost) Cheetos under their fat rolls. I vomited in my mouth a little too. I just can't wrap my brain around the size these women must be to hide FOUR pair of boots and other stuff!
i think i am going to be sick...
And I'm sure they'll be suing somebody.
Okay, I am 60lbs over weight (lost 50 so far, yay me)... and I literally just tried to tuck one boot under my breast and armpit. Didn't work... in the least bit. How much fat must they have to each have 4 boots and 2 jeans tucked away? Wow... just wow... If I can't hide one boot with 60lbs... Ick...
My computer got so upset reading that that it turned itsself off. I sort of don't know what to say. Pairs of boots? Um. . . How much are the security people paid?
If they ever fly our of Edmond I want a job as a TSA pat down person. YUM! hahahahahahah
Oh Yeah I wonder if the store security checked their plumbers crack?
I'm cursed by living close enough to this story to have seen it on my local news--and these women are nowhere near as fat as you'd think--they ARE fat,in the 200 lbs plus range but not the waddling cascading type of fat you'd think they'd have to be. I have no idea how they did what they did. I'm just glad I'm not the one that had to strip search them.
Ewww. I'll shar this with my partner...he works in security and will get a kick out of reading this.
Again, being an Okie myself, all I can say is please tell me these items did NOT go back on the shelves.
Urp!
