Thieves Rip The Doors Off Of A Best Buy With A Truck, Steal iPods

A group of thieves hitched a truck to the front doors of a Best Buy and used it to rip the front doors off the building, according to WFTV in Florida. The thieves then led police on a high speed chase.

“I’ve never seen anyone pull hurricane shutters out like that,” said general manager Ole Goode. Goode said the outside is bad, but inside is even worse.

The crooks ran in, ripped cages off the walls, smashed glass cases and grabbed only the hottest items.

“Stuff like iPods, GPSs, laptops, probably stuff that’s easy to sell, sell quick,” Goode said.

After spending about 4 minutes looting the Best Buy, the thieves escaped in three vehicles that all went different directions. One driver crashed his BMW but escaped on foot. All of the suspects are still at large.

Something tells us there will soon be good deals on iPods to be found off trucks in the Florida area. No, we’re kidding. Don’t buy anything off a truck. Damn.—MEGHANN MARCO
