What Kind of a Creep Steals Cookies from a 7-Year-Old Girl Scout? Cripes!!

Published on March 14th, 2007

“Girls are selling Girl Scout cookies outside their house on the little table and he said he wanted to buy some cookies and she gave him a box of Tagalongs, and he grabbed them and said, ‘Catch me if you can’ and took off,” said Lt. Steve Rose with the Sandy Springs Police Department.

Police were already just a few blocks away looking for the same truck for cutting donuts in some lawn and pulled over 17-year-old Sean Michael McGoff of Alpharetta and his younger buddy.

“And the mother of this child that was selling cookies came up to them and said, ‘That’s the car that stole my daughter’s cookies,” said Lt. Rose.

The officer said he smelled alcohol on the driver and looked in the car.

“And he’s got the box of cookies in the front seat so the fruits of the crime are there,” said Lt. Rose.

The only part of this story that is missing is what will likely show up in the next day or two– you know, the part where mama tells us that he is a good kid who just fell in with the wrong crowd.

What punishment would you suggest?

Fire up ol’ Sparky, boys!

I wouldn’t steal those things for all the gold on earth.

They are overpriced, pallid and insipid.

The guy must be insane. Yet more are deeper into insanity to PAY for the
things.

Forgive me for focusing on the commercial possibilities, but the Girl Scouts’ new cookie slogan should be…

“Tagalongs….. so good they’re worth going to jail for.”
–or–
“I don’t mind prison food as long as I get my Tagalongs.”

Out of tragedy is born a marketing campaign.

I would suggest a tour of duty in Iraq as a fitting punishment.
Say driving down IED Alley everyday?
Jail is wasted on these guys..
and you solve the recruting problem at the same time.

Before he can be released from jail, he has to eat a hundred boxes worth of those cookies, while guards watch him to make sure he doesn’t flush any of them. And if he upchucks…..well…..(shrug)….yumm yumm!

Weren’t you guys making light of petty theft like this from Taco Bell and a country club a few weeks ago? Oh wait, you were!

Sure, like swiping from a multinational corporation is on par with stealing from a child selling for a non-profit?

What kind of creep places pins and needles in Girl Scout cookies? This seems pretty harmless by comparison.

Medication.

They ought to make him wear a girl scout outfit and sell cookies for a week.

In my opinion, jail wouldn’t teach the kid anything. It would just give him bragging rights with the rest of his degenerate crowd.

I would give him extra community service, such as 250 hours of cleaning some public spaces, such as parks, sidewalks, etc. I wouldn’t supervise the guy, but I would have the Girl Scout Troop to inspect the area afterwards and sign off on how good he did his job.

Another punishment would be ti sit in on several Girl Scout Meetings. Just sit in the corner. Not a peep out of him. Any movement or talking would automatically cancel his community service and kick in a jail sentence.

Idiots… they amuse and scare me… Well, this guy will have to eat wieners for some years to come.

#6 – You have a funny definition of non-profit

Death is too kind of a fate. I’d suggest time with #1 or #6.

There was an instance of a person robbing Girl Scouts outside a local supermarket here in the Northwest:

He did not bother with the cookies, but rather the money they were making.

Also and instance of Counterfeit Cash being used to buy a box or two.

What lengths some people will go to to get Samoas and Thin Mints!

10 Fusion- I like your suggestion except at the meeting he must wear the uniform, and pass inspection.

Make him wear a sign in the busiest part of town during rush hour for a week: “I steal cookies from Girl Scouts.”

# 17 curmudgen said, on March 14th, 2007 at 7:47 pm

#16
Then have Den Mothers (?)cause a traffic jam and riot when they jump out of their cars to beat the shit out of him !!
Sounds like a plan to me.

Happen in my home town when an animal abuser was sentenced to wearing a sign near a busy mall plaza. Fifteen minutes and they had to shut it down for fear of life and limb.

“What punishment would you suggest?”

Have this guy confess of what he did on video, then give each if the kids in the troop an inflatable hammer (the big kind you see now and again at county fairs) and then have them beat the hell out of this guy – then post that on Youtube.

Send the girl scout to Gitmo for a week as an observer.. (free)

20 hours community work (hard labor) for the perp

make sure the perp knows it’s the real deal once it turns 18

Stealing from a girl scout is under-reported.

I hear several stories locally of girl scout parents that don’t turn in their cookie money sales.

The individual troops lose out. Troops make only 50 cents per box and have to pay for the boxes sold.

When a parent doesn’t turn in their money, it takes 4 boxes of cookie sales to break even from the loss of each box that the selfish parent keeps.

I personally know this kid because I played football with him for two years in 7th and 8th grade. From what I remember this was the craziest son of a bitch I knew and seeing something like this does not surprise me. And no he is not a good kid. If you ask any of my friends I am a fairly passive person but he made me go off. He sprayed deodorant on my football helmet mouthpiece and the next day I cornered him and beat the hell out of him. He isn’t big and apparently he likes to hand down the beatings he gets and steal girl scout cookies from little girls?
