One of the saddest parts of this story has to be the fact that the thief wasn’t a six-year-old kid.
According to Huffington Post, a 55-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday and charged with misdemeanor theft after Athens police used a GPS device hidden in the teddy bear he stole to catch him.
Police said Mid-Atlantic Clothing Recycling had been dealing with a recent string of thefts by what had to be a total asshole from their collection bins inside the Georgia Square Mall in Athens. In hopes of catching the thief, a company manager concealed a GPS device inside a teddy bear and put the bear in the bin.
The manager called authorities on Tuesday morning to let them know the teddy bear was “on the move.” Police worked with the manager to update the bear’s location, and the 55-year-old turd of a human being was eventually apprehended.
No word on what the man planned to use the teddy bear for, but since it’s the middle of nowhere Georgia, we’ll pray that it was anything but to have sex with it.
