Bright Lights Stolen Nights

Over $30,000 was reported stolen last night at the Bright Lights Belhaven Nights festival last night.

The vendor who supplied the ATMs did not load the nine machines with cash before delivering them to the festival.  He left the cash in his vehicle while he and two assistants unloaded the machines.  He reported the money stolen from the vehicle.  Thus there were no operating ATM's last night at the festival. No arrests have yet been made.

There's roughly about 100,000 suspects! I suspect that this was his First Rodeo.

Sounds like an inside job.

Burke said...

Definitely an insider. What kind of business person would leave that much cash unguarded, even for a few seconds? (Rhetorical question)

Talk about an inside job. Unreal

If this is true I would like to make my nomination for this year's Darwin Award.....

Crime in The Belhaven - who knew? As long as there are easy victims and suckers down there, the usual suspects will stay down there.

I was there, I didn't see anything.

Just who will investigate; no one. Cops may be in on it as well.

Regardless of local. Who leaves that kind of chedda unattended? Poor guy has some tough questions to answer.

Only in Jackson...right?

not buying that you leave that much cash unattended in a car or truck.

Dang. Another con somebody thought of before me.

It’s gonna take a lot of small town festivals to make that up.

So you make $2.00 on every $60 withdrawal from you atm. How many withdrawals you gonna need to catch up with $30,000?

Good junior high math question. Or mba question for this generation.

I'M NO Sherlock Holmes but did the 3 people unloading the ATM's take the $ 30,000.00 or was it actually stolen from the vehicle??????

The real Kingfish rocked the streets last night.

Somewhat related: Why the hell did somebody think THIRTY THOUSAND dollars should be available for withdrawal at this event?

Note: Somebody gonna be wearin' a new purple suit next Sunday. And mauve alligator shoes.

Advanced math question for criminal justice majors:

Suppose the money wasn't stolen, but "borrowed" to finance a drug operation.

Describe the quantities of drugs purchased and then resold depending on the type of drug. Show your work for marijuana, cocaine and purple drank in 55 gallon quantities.

Bonus extra credit: Predict the time required to repay the "loan" depending on the previously mentioned type of drugs.

Extra Double Bonus extra credit: Assume meth heads "borrowed" the money to do a major cook using chinese precursors purchased on the dark web before the Trump tariffs took effect. If at least two of the suspects are wired but running low on their supply (maybe that's why they decided to "borrow" the money for a major cook?) how long before the fire department rolls to a flash fire?

Show all assumptions and work for maximum credit!

This is absolute garbage. These 3 guys need to be questioned.

I feel sure who ever took it needed it so just move on.

JPS wastes more than this before breakfast, and we are going to worry about these three innocent people?

"These 3 guys need to be questioned."

DAMN Sherlock! I bet the cops never thought of that. Criminal justice major?

A lot of people in this thread are going to feel really stupid when the real story comes out.

6:20 AM has a firm grasp on the obvious.

I'm an independent ATM owner/operator, and $30K divided by 6 ATMs is a little heavy (but not unheard of) for this pageant of leftist soyboys, BUT, while we DO leave our asses in the air a lot (and no fault to this guy, in fact I probably know who he is) he DOES need to check his help. Unless he's the unluckiest fucker on the planet, and was the only vehicle broken into, it was an inside job.

Clearly another case of a business hiring a person who had no knowledge or experience in the job.

5:42 - Six ATM's, each holding $5000 bucks at a fucking block party and a bag of cash holding the entire thirty thousand? And you call that 'a little heavy'?

Next question, since you're an ATM owner/operator: When an employee or owner/operator delivers one of these portable ATMs to a location, is it standard that the employee then open the machine and load it with cash, on location? And if so, how stupid is that?

I haven't been to BLBN since they started charging $8/beer, but I recall that it was a ticket based system. A few years back you paid cash to get tickets and I don't think they had Square or other credit card methods. This would require ATMs for people who didn't bring cash.

That's cool, 7:35....But, thirty thousand dollars in ATMs for beer?

So, was the money just sitting on the seat, in a bag labeled 'MONEY'?

"So, was the money just sitting on the seat, in a bag labeled 'MONEY'?"

What kind of vehicle hauls six portable ATM machines? I would think each one would have to be really heavy in order to keep them from being stolen easily. So, the vehicle must have been at least a six or ten wheel truck. And the 'money stash' was hidden under the rear folding seat and only the three employees knew where it was. And if it was next to the box of Gatorade, this could just be a case of picking up the wrong box by mistake.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
