Joel Whittaker was dumpster diving behind a grocery store last weekend when he noticed that one of the store's loading dock doors had been left partially open.
Feeling extra curious, and, somehow, growing bored of the dumpster dive—which is one of the most extreme sports on the planet, by the way—he decided to take a look inside.
Once inside, he came upon one of the greatest treasures known to man: PALLETS UPON PALLETS OF UNATTENDED GIRL SCOUT COOKIES!!!!
I can imagine his jaw about dropped to the floor at this point.
Whittaker wasted little time, and soon had his sedan pulled up to the dock for easy loading. The cookies were stacked by flavor, and Whittaker could've easily gotten away with one giant stack of Caramel deLites, but that just wasn't going to do it for him. So Whittaker diversified his treasure, grabbing several different flavors, and I really can't blame him for this.
Sure, everybody likes the Caramel deLite, but you gotta get yourself some Thin Mints, maybe grab a few Peanut Butter Patties...
HECK, WHY NOT GRAB A FEW OF EACH FLAVOR?!?!
So once he had his back seat and trunk full of a wide variety of Girl Scout cookies, he took off. Unfortunately for Whittaker, an alarm call had gone out when he was inside getting greedy with his cookie selection, and police spotted his sedan as he drove through the parking lot.
I'm pretty sure it was the giant stack of Girl Scout cookies in his back seat that gave him away. Just a guess.
In total he took 23 cases of cookies worth $1,250. He is facing up to ten years in prison and/or a $20,000 fine.
