Perception of CrimeWatch®: Where do stolen jeans and accused killers go?

Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Tue, Jul 21, 2009 at 3:24 PM

Question 1: Where do accused killers go when they escape police custody?

18 year-old Matthew Wells went to his girlfriend's house after he escaped Atlanta Police custody on July 8. You may recall, Wells gave a tender on-camera shout-out to his girlfriend after he was captured.

Still no word on why it took approximately 20 hours for the Atlanta Police Department to notify the public of Wells' escape. I suspect there never will be.

Question 2: Where do designer jeans go after they're stolen in-bulk from Atlanta area clothing stores?

They cover the asses of amoral people who turn a blind eye to blatant theft.

In the past, I've predicted the mass theft of flat-screen TVs will revive the market for large, difficult-to-steal tube televisions. Now, I'm starting to wonder if Toughskins are poised for a comeback.

RIght on. There would be no thieves if there were no customers.

the jeans probably go to girlfriend's houses as well. as for the other comment, there is SOME truth to that, but not much. people steal for lots of reasons. to quote from the article link - “I think [buyers] add to the problem, but the bigger problem is that people are actually stealing it.”

These are professional thieves and, for the most part, they steal for profit. Whether they are pawning my Litespeed, selling jeans on Ebay or giving them to girlfriends for other "payment", the vast majority is to raise money or trade.
