The Oxycontin Thief Caught!!

If some of you haven't been keeping up with the oxycontin robber that has been robbing Rite-Aids here in Spokane he's finally been caught. He has been robbing pharmacies since June and was finally caught on Friday night at the Rite-Aid right across the street from where I work. Mom called me up all frantic saying that they caught a robber trying to rob Shopko Pharmacy. I was thinking holy crap my pharmacy got robbed!!! But, it wasn't us, it was the Rite-Aid and luckly the cops thought he was going to strike either October 2nd or 3rd so they were already at the Rite-Aid under cover ready to pounce if he came in. And sure enough a man came in late at night dressed in a red sweatshirt and sunglasses and slid a note across the counter demanding oxycontin and that he had a gun.

I have to admit I am relieved that he has been caught, but I have been having grand visions of me being the one who got to catch him. I had a plan that if he came to my pharmacy I was going to leap across the pharmacy counter, round-house kick to the head and knock him out and then call the police and take the reward money of $10,000. But alas, no such luck for me. The dang cops got him instead.

My other idea was that once he slipped me his note saying, "I have a gun give me all your oxycontin". I was going to slide him a note saying, "I have a shotgun hidden under my counter, get out of here before I blow your balls off."

Blow his balls off. hahahahahahahaha! I hadn't heard, but I'm so glad he's been caught and you're safe (although I totally believe you could've round-house kicked the hell outta him).

I've also gotta say I'm proud of myself for being the first one to post a comment. Yah me!

Jen that's pretty good, I can see you smoothly passing him the note and then BANG- he's ball-less. He would learn his lesson. I'm glad he's been caught, but maybe you should keep the shot gun under the counter anyway, it sounds like there are some pretty desperate people out there.
