Remember my post in June about the gumball machines? Well, a couple weeks after that article was published, there was one in the Dallas Morning News that Ladystyx and her cohorts stole one! Oh ok, maybe she didn't actually DO it, but she could have been the mastermind! LOL


From Staff Reports

Burleson police were investigating a burglary in which a gumball machine was stolen from a Jeep Outfitter store last week.

Police said the incident occurred the evening of Oct. 15 in the 2000 block of Interstate 35W. Police said it appeared that a person entered the store trying to steal computer equipment, but instead left with a gumball machine, belonging to a charity.

When police arrived, they discovered a broken glass door and smashed computer equipment on the floor.

Police said as many as three people in a dark-colored SUV may have been involved in the incident. Surveillance video show a man in his late teens or early 20s wearing a blue baseball cap, a black T-shirt and tan cargo shorts. The driver was described as wearing a yellow T-shirt. A description of the third person was not available.

Police said this incident may be connected to another burglary at the business two weeks earlier. In that incident, money was stolen from a drawer.

Anyone with any information was asked to call police at 817-447-5300, extension 333, to speak with an investigator.

  1. Hey now!

    01) hubby looks young but his teens? Nah!
    02) The SUV was a distraction. I actually borrowed molly's daughter and we tied the bugger to the back of her horse.

    When will the reporters get things right around there???

  2. LOL - and notice the lack of facts in the article, I mean, I would want to know if these gumballs are jaw breakers, bubble gum, or the plastic toys in a spherical bottle.

    In the meantime, I won't buy any from the guy on the street thats goes "Pssst, wanna buy a watch cheap?"

    Going to jail for buying a "hot" gumball would be a tragedy.

  3. Hot as in stolen or hot as in cinnamon? Oh wait! If they're stolen cinnamon gumballs, does it make them hot hot gumballs?
