Despite lockout, crooks still have a taste for NFL jerseys

From KRQE-TV in Albuquerque comes one of the most entertaining stories we’ve seen during the 101-day-old lockout.

At Krystal’s NFL Shoppe, a man and a woman brazenly stole six authentic NFL jerseys last week, stuffing them into a bag in plain view of a surveillance camera. Two days later, the woman returned and tried to take more jerseys. She got away after the police were called.

The video version of the story, available at the link to the KRQE-TV website, is worth watching, if for no reason other than the owner of the store, complete with a British accent, slams a certain team from Carolina while commenting on the contents of the video.

“And another Panthers jersey,” the owner says as the woman steals another shirt, “so she’s clearly got no taste.”

Further proving her lack of taste? At one point, she lifts from the rack the jersey of one of the greatest safeties to ever play the game. And then she puts it back.

The couple, when caught, will face felony charges. And they’ll surely be caught; their faces can plainly be seen on the video.
