So apparently there is a button thief at the local Goodwill store
Edited on Fri Oct-12-07 01:23 AM by u4ic
That's right, someone is stealing buttons from coats and jackets. Not the coat, just the buttons.

It meant I got a 20% discount on a winter jacket, but I have to wonder - is this person deluded? Stupid? A latter-day spiv? Is there some sort of black market button trade that's flying under our radar? :shrug:

1. Button, button, who's got the button?
Sounds like an evil plot to me. I'd keep an eagle eye out if'n I were youse.

2. It's...
a brilliant business plan.

Step 1. steal all the buttons from all the coats.
Step 2. open the local Buttons-R-Us store.
Step 3. make a fortune.
