I always knew living statues would eventually use their motionless powers for evil.

No one can get that much joy from terrifying unsuspecting children and not have their heart turn to stone.

Recently, a Polish man pretended to be a mannequin at the mall. It could have been a great gig for a living statue.

(Imagine all the time employees would save if the mannequins just dressed themselves.)

Instead, the living mannequin waited until the mall closed, and then went on a crime spree. He robbed a jewelry stand, stole clothes, and he even fixed himself some dinner at one of the mall restaurants, twice.

Unfortunately, this mannequin story doesn't end with Andrew McCarthy becoming a famous window dresser or falling in love with a wooden doll.

Eventually, mall security noticed the dummy running around and nabbed him.

He has now been charged with burglary and theft and faces a prison sentence of up to 10 years.

(Now that's deterrence!)

Stay tuned for the sequel when the guards at the prison are fooled into letting him escape.

"Hey! Who replaced this prisoner with a mannequin!"
