You know the economy is bad when thieves have to (in the speech style of the "pimp" comedian Katt Williams)
break into a Coach handbag store,
break into a Coach OUTLET handbag store,
break into a Coach Outlet handbag store in Howell,
in Howell where the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan currently resides,
and all the news reports is that
they got away with "wallets and accessories valued at more than $50 each",
fifty dollars each ONLY!
What a bad haul for the thieves!
The total tally of the theft is valued at $10,000, which means at regular retail it would have been about $13,000. We know they took small leather goods and accessories but assuming they had only taken leather handbags, then the thieves would have gotten away with about 32 handbags.
Time to search eBay for Coach bags listed today and onwards. I estimate they could haul in about $7,500 of clean profit if selling on eBay alone.
I don't find theft and/or robbery funny. What amuses me is that the recession had pushed the desperation of thieves to a point that they had to settle for Coach MADE IN CHINA handbags. Yes, I said it -- made in China. Since when was it okay to pay $400 for bags made in the same place that poisons your toothpaste, your dog food, and your children's toys?
What ever happened to robbing Chanel or Louis Vuitton? Don't thieves have ambitions anymore?

I bet those robbers are having a hard time flogging off that crap.
I hate Coach. I hate monogram.
Uhhhh, I hate Coach too. It's like a disease here. Even teenagers have the bags. They used to be a decent reputable bag maker. All glove leather stuff, no monograms, made in USA and Italy. Times have changed.
