The Grungy Girl Gang Act 3 – The Gimmick

People who know The Funklord, know I almost never put my funking foot in my mouth, but on this one, I was dead wrong.  As you may remember, The Grungy Girl Gang is about a group of four goofy yet lovable female criminals (Starring Anna Faris, Kristen Schaal, Melissa McCarthy, and Wanda Sykes), who figure out how to basically flash rob several high end retailers.  This hook came to me in a dream (at work) where I stumbled across this story.  In Pittsburgh, there was another flash robbery, where 5 guys (not the restaurant chain) went into a Louis Vuitton store and made off with thousands of dollars in handbags.  I know what you are thinking:  How can these 5 fashionistas possible accessorize thousands of designer bags before the fall line hits the shelves?  I have no idea.  But what I do know is just like this other similar crime, surveillance VIDEO (yes video) captures them in the act, and the police can’t even tell you what kind of car they were driving.  I think the description is “Late model dark colored car”.  WIth that kind of detail, I should probably turn myself in for questioning.

The funniest part of this story is NOT that they think this is a nation wide, coordinated effort to specifically target high end women accessories, BUT that they can only release some of the footage because they don’t want this to be a “how to” video on robbery.  My conspiracy theory is the other angle has the security guard snoozing while five criminal masterminds give themselves a 30 second shopping spree.
