Hat theft! Happen to You?

[John in Covina]

Obvious or oblivious?

In a few of the stories I am struck by the stupidity of the thief, hanging around where the hat was stolen, wearing it to school the next day?

I just don't know what to say, brazen or braindead?

I don't want to give lessons on what to do when stealing but come on!

I am reminded of the guy that left the note at the bank robbery, he had written it on his personalized deposit slip.

!!!!!!!!!!!

I am glad for those that got their hats back, but somebody's heirs are future Darwin Award winners.

I've had people try to snatch it off my head (bold gits) while walking down the street.

That probably wouldn't go over too well here in the USA. Was that while you were in Europe?

I hear it al the time that people get their hats taken from coat checks, the train, the bus, and other various places. But the one that irks me the most, and I hear it a lot more often than one might think, is people getting their hats stolen from church. I mean thats just low.

My hat's off to you guys, Wconly, Dinerman, for taking your hat back from the thief. :eusa_clap. Raw anger is just what it takes.

When a thief (idiot) takes a man's hat and shows up again, wearing the purloined article, in the same vicinity, does he bother to remove the owner's ID from the hat?

 

[Dinerman]

I had my name on a card on the underside of the sweatband. I could prove it was mine.

so- mine didn't bother to take out the tag.

A funny example of hat theft?

Uh, go easy on the language there. I would have nailed him like the guy on the escalator. He would have been eating hat nuggets. :rage:

Note the use of the "question mark"... It was a question, not a statement. Take your anger, "rage", out on someone else.

Maybe we're lucky?

Well, ladies and gents alike, neither Dad ( AKA Funneman ) or I have had a hat stolen. I feel lucky now, reading some of these stories. I think the lowest is the hat theft in a church. Tsk tsk, what is the world coming to these days?

In some states it's legal to shoot a fleeing felon. Depending on that state, and what classifies as Grand Theft, these thieves should be careful.

I left my hat hanging on the coat peg at church on Wednesday night. We'll see if it's still there on Sunday. :eusa_doh:

 

[Pilgrim]

I had dinner last night at the Brown Palace in Denver. Their dining room is one of the better restaurants in that city. But my hat was on a table 12" behind where I was sitting. I politely declined their offer to take my hat & coat.

 

[Twitch]

I never let mine out of sight. The old days of hat/coat check is long gone in establishments so you just have to keep it close.

My baseball cap got stolen off my head when i was in high school. Damn those bullies. I hate testosterone; it makes people do such silly things.

If they replaced it with a felt fedora, it'd be a
public service...

Oremus.

 

[Orgetorix]

Oremus.

All is well. The hat was still hanging on the peg, and it's safely back on my head today, keeping me warm in the cold snap that just blew in.

I have to admit I'm a bit surprised (and certainly pleased). I go to church in the middle of the city, where cars have been stolen out of the parking lot before.

Well, you can strip a car for parts and sell them. Ever tried to sell parts off a stripped hat? You'd starve to death trying to live off the profits.[huh]
