Mrs. Claus Can't Be Happy With This Skinflint Santa
MERRILLVILLE, Ind. (AP) -- Instead of impressing "Honey Bunny" on Christmas morning with a 42-inch plasma television, "Big Papa" is facing a charge of theft.
Forty-two-year-old Richard Perez of Lake Station is charged with stealing the TV and bedding from a hotel where he worked as a security officer.
Merrillville police say security video showed Perez walking into a room at the Radisson Hotel with an empty luggage cart, then leaving minutes later with a full cart covered with cloth.
Police said they searched Perez's Lake Station home Friday and found the bedding on Perez's bed and the TV underneath the tree, wrapped in green, Santa-themed paper.
The attached card was addressed to "Mom, Honey Bunny from Big Papa, Daddy."
Anybody remember the old T.V. show---Soap. Do you remember when Bert went through the phase where he thought he could turn himself invisible by snapping his fingers. He absolutely believed no one could see him. I wonder if this guy was suffering from the same delusion.
The guy was a security guard there for crying out loud. He must have known there were cameras there; but for whatever reason, he didn't think they'd see him walking out of a room where a television had been stolen.
What is the old saying: God watches out for fools and drunks---and evidently for dimwitted security guards, how do people like this function in life?
