Busted Bandit Runs It Right Back

So some dude in Tawilla, Washington gets busted for shoplifting at a department store… pretty standard, right?

Except it’s not. Because of a serious medical issue, police couldn’t book him, so they cite him and cut him loose.

And apparently he took that as… a challenge.

Less than 20 minutes later, a store across the street calls 911. Same description, same guy, same hobby.

Officers show up like, “Seriously?”—and yep, it’s him again.

Turns out, security video also ties him to three earlier thefts at that same store. So this wasn’t a relapse… this was a routine.

Round two ends a little differently. He gets arrested again—this time booked on four counts of shoplifting.

Moral of the story? Some people really can’t take a hint.
