Where's the obligatory K-9 in the photo?
They went too far stealing that Interstate 20 sign and got busted.
It will take a lot more than Ulta to help those two.
No amount of Ulta makeup could make either suspect look good.
They were hiding the loot in their rolls of blubber and hopefully not in an unmentionable location.
That I-20 sign cracks me up. If you know, you know.
Ummmm, what you ladies doing with all that lotion? My friend Diddy want to know. Posing with these recovered stolen items feels a little like posing with your state record carp that jumped into your boat as you drove by. They didn't catch them the first time, but they came back a second time, to the same stores, and they brought a car load of already stolen items to the scene of the crime again.... I'm not saying it's eeeassy being a cop, but yeah, maybe don't put this one in your scrapbook.
