Apr 8 2008Shirtless Bandit Steals Netflix Discs, Is Caught Red (Mailer) Handed By Hidden Spy Camera
This is the Shirtless Bandit. He likes chips and watching Netflix rentals -- but not his own. He just steals them from his neighbors.
After having to file multiple Netflix movies as "lost in the mail" I began to get suspicious that there was more than just a careless mailman at fault. So what better to do than point a video camera at the mailbox and try to catch a Netflix thief.
Since both my roommate and myself worked second shift jobs, we would be physically unable catch the culprit in action. And although suspicion was strong that it was the white-trash tenants in the first floor of our duplex, suspicion alone would not be enough. We needed something tangible, something we could take to the police if we felt the need. We needed him caught on camera.
Needless to say they did, and he got busted. But not before they drove his head into the mailbox a few times. Just kidding. I would have though. Shit, you steal my Netflix DVDs and I'll pack the mailbox with explosives.
UPDATE: I called a friend at the post office to check the legality of packing a mailbox with TNT, and surprisingly, it's frowned upon. That's okay though, I come prepared. Plan B: Make a mailbox costume, stand by road with a tire iron.

You'd think Jonah Hill got enough cash from "Superbad" to not be stealing other people's Netflix DVDs!

Hey Sugar tits, that's a federal offense! I bet you're white trash. White trash is responsible for all the worlds problems!!!
Your friend,

Just because he forgot his smoking jacket when he left the house is no reason to call him white trash.

Hahahahahaha.
Dirty fuck! I'm glad he got caught. People who steal from other people deserve to die.

Surprise! You've just been pwned by a company making and selling video camera equipment and getting blogs like you to help them with their viral marketing campaign. Now what are you going to do?

So many self righteous, so few glass houses.
Besides, as 10 said, this is just a campaign to sell video software, etc...

This is boring. Why can't they post hidden cameras of Emma Watson masturbating? You know, something the whole family can enjoy.

He's so stupid he risked stealing physical DVDs instead of stealing them by download? That is stupid.
