Man Accused Of Reverse-Shoplifting

Yesterday, at the local JC Pennys, a man was taken into custody for allegedly "reverse-shoplifting". According to the police report, a store associate called the deputies to the store after she witnessed a man opening his backpack and placing what appeared to be his own clothing on the racks.

"He had put tags on the clothing as if it belonged to us."

After the man was taken in to custody he was interviewed by police about what had occurred at the store.

"I was only trying to help JC Pennys out a bit. I mean, have you seen their clothing selections? Horrible! I figured they could use some good looking fashionable clothing on their racks for a change."

The police later revealed to us that this man had a long list of reverse-shoplifting charges.

"Just last week, I responded to a police call from a hair salon. The hair salon that was affected refuses to carry Bed Head products. The defendant went to a nearby hair salon and bought their entire stock of Bed Head including the stand it came on."

According to the hair salon affected by this bout of "reverse-shoplifting", the defendant then stealthily placed the stand and the Bed Head hair products in their shop.

"We were appalled that someone would attack our business in such a disrespectful way!"

After the defendant was release from jail on the JC Pennys case, he was spotted at a local diner taking tips off of one table and placing them on a table somewhere else in the place.

"Since there is technically no law that bans such practices, we have no choice but the release this horrible criminal after a seventy-two hour period."

A manager at the local thrift store, unlike the shops in question, sided with the criminal on this subject.

"We are strong supporters of 'reverse-shoplifting'. If only he would do that here. We are in dire need of fashionable clothing, and we hardly ever get unopened bottles of Bed Head. Quit harassing such an innocent man."
