Laughing Man Robs Girl Scouts' Collection Jar


Laughing Man Robs Girl Scouts' Collection Jar
The Huffington Post


Zoe and Gracie Fullerton of Escondido, Calif., didn't have such a sweet Saturday after a man stole a collection jar with $45 in proceeds from Girl Scout Cookie sales.

The two sisters were selling cookies outside a grocery store when a man thought to be between 19 and 22 years old ran out of the store and stole all their cash. The man was said to be laughing the whole time.


"He just came out and took our money," Gracie Fullerton told KFMB-TV. "He was kind of laughing when he went...so we thought that he would turn around. But he didn't. He kept on running."

The cookie money crook got into a black Acura with the California license plate 6KBC407. There were three others inside.

The money was supposed to go to "Operation Thin Mint," a program that provides cookies and support to U.S. troops deployed in Afghanistan, Iraq and Africa, places where Girl Scouts rarely go door-to-door.
