Someone sends us a link to the story of Jan and Steven Toms from Mahwah, New Jersey who were arrested recently for pretending to be collecting for a soldier-related charity in front of a convenience store.
[Capt. Laurence W. Martin of the Wayne, New Jersey police] said that they presented “false documents” to Stop & Shop to make it appear that they were part of the charity before collecting money from shoppers on Jan. 25. The captain said they had “conducted this fraudulent activity in other surrounding jurisdictions as well.”
They were arrested at police headquarters on Friday after an investigation that began when the charity’s president reported the incident to police. Wayne Detective Dave Collins identified them with the help of “video evidence,” Martin said.
The couple’s attorney, Russell Bickert, said his clients were “absolutely not guilty and these charges are all false.”
The police didn’t mention how much money they had collected, but if it was a nickel, it was too much. According to the article, they were charged with “tampering with public records, wrongful impersonation and theft by deception” and released. New Jersey.
Why can’t we bring back the stocks?
Yes! Pillories with an ample supply of rotten tomatoes and cabbage nearby.
Shitbags. Pick axe handles outback until they are a big purple bruise.
That’s why I don’t put money in jars.

Sometimes someone just needs a solid beatdown to understand just what a shitbag they truly are.
Old girl is not a total failure…she has managed to make Kaiya Louise Church look smoking hot by comparison.
I hear she was into prostitution but gave it up. It was costing her way too much money! Baddah-bing.
Hey, look! Nurse Murch from the Lovelace Clinic (Mercury astronaut selection/movie “The Right Stuff”) gained weight and dyed her hair blond.
Nice stache on that dame.
