Proof That Some People Are Stupid

Feds search home after couple admits theft on TV

Fri Apr 3, 5:09 AM PDT
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."

It's called a typo. I believe it's in the dictionary. You might think wanna about looking it up.



And really, who is stupid enough to admit to shoplifting on TV?

 

[Sarge 2.0]

Lots of people? Not just Americans.

Have you ever been on a Reality TV show? Or even met a TV producer?

For one, they make up story lines. Its all fake.

For two, have you ever been involved in Law Enforcement? Anything said outside of a signed written confession is admissible in court. He could have been lying because the producers said it would be better for ratings.

Don't believe everything you see on TV.. .

I cannot believe you have a typo in that title. That is golden. You should be calling in a mod-favor right about now to fix that ****.

No, I stay far away from reality tv. You know why? Because it sucks balls



Way to ruin a thread...

So you never made one? I find that hard to believe. Well, if you're gonna come in here just to complain about some stupid type, you can leave.

You can't call all Americans are stupid, then put a typo in the Thread Title with a word as simple as THAT. But, thanks to which ever mod fixed it. Now it's not "Anti-Americanistic". Like Mr. Obama called today for the world to end in France.

 

[knowsbleed]

It's not "anti-americanistic" anymore, but the posts contained in this thread are still more entertaining than the actual article. Thanks to the mod who fixed the "American" part but left the misspelled word in the title. This is what makes the Hype worth coming to some days... the fail in this thread oozes like an STD.

[El_Citrus]

Do we really need proof to know that plenty of people are stupid?

 

[Logan's Runt]

Tnat!

hahahahahahha

Make one Typo on the hype...... your name is mud here forever.

Make a thousand and your name is Thor Odinson.

 

[Batman713]

I hate it when people say LEGOs. LEGO is singular and plural. LEGOs is incorrect!


Oh and the couple are dumb as ****.

 

[Majik1387]

I'm pretty sure LEGO is only singular.

 

[SuperFerret]

LEGO is singular, the plural form is LEGOs.

 

[Nirvana]

The proper wording is LEGO Bricks. This thread is hilariously ironic.

 

[Eggyman]

If you look closer, behind the curtain of stupidity, you'll notice that it doesn't ****ing matter. Plural, singular, it's all good... discussing its usage on the net, another story altogether.

I'm a bad tper. what can I say?
Edit: And to prove that point i made a typo in this post. I'm preserving it so You can poinnt and laugh
