Woman snatched close to $100 from Palm Beach Girl Scouts
There's another cookie monster on the loose in West Palm Beach and she's behind the wheel of a car. Two Girl Scout cookie sellers were targeted by a woman who drove up to their cookie stand and snatched their hard-earned dough, reports WPBF.com
The drive-by happened Sunday night at a shopping center in Palm Beach Gardens. A woman in a maroon, four-door Honda pulled up to 7-year-old Vanessa Bergeron's cookie table and asked for a box of the treats. Her mother, Missy, was also at the table and walked up to the vehicle with a box in hand.
That's when the cookie crook asked for change and looked like she was going in her purse, Missy said. As the mother was counting out the cash, the woman snatched the wad of money and floored it. Vanessa had collected close to $100.
"I would've given her a couple dollars out of my own money, but to rob from two little girls like that, you really have some issues," Bergeron said. Police weren't able to track the suspect down, but they believe she is in her 30s. Other Girl Scout cookie sellers in the area have been warned of the potential threat. The Girl Scouts have been the target of cookie crooks during their annual cookie push in the past.
The most infamous of the "cookie monsters" is Stephanie Woods, who at 17-years old robbed a 9-year-old Girl Scout outside a Palm Beach supermarket in 2008.
Gee, no description on the perp? Wonder why that is... must be the darned Amish again...
Will no one stop their reign of terror?!
Great description of the car though:
a maroon, four-door Honda
You would have to be pretty stupid to walk up to ANYBODY with that wad of cash when 1 out of 2 people is a selfish amoral leftist sack of dung.
This should be turned into a lesson for the girl scouts: trust nobody! The enemy is everywhere!
“Will no one stop their reign of terror?!”
Take away their horse and buggy and see how far they get with these ‘drive-bys’..
No tag or other info? How is that unless it had one of those tag applied for BS cardboard signs. And a better description would help.
Disgraceful.
“C” is for “Criminal”, that’ bad enough for me.
Police weren’t able to track the suspect down, but they believe she is in her 30s. ................................. Well at least its not a 55+ white haired Tea Party person, motivated to steal from a 7 yr old by Palin..
Over the last few days, there has been a rash of attacks by this group, particularly females.
They all have something in common that you just cannot put your finger on. In every case, the reporters were sure to report a good description of the cars involved.
Do not jump to conclusions.
This being North Palm Beach, there are NO blacks. That would be Riviera Beach a little south and closer to Palm Beach.
Also the previous pos who robbed a similar cookie sale, “Stephanie Woods” has been in trouble ever since, she is an attractive White girl too.
Brings a whole new meaning to “Like stealing candy from a baby” doesn’t it?
Put the perp UNDER the jail.
At 4.50 a box I’m not sure who the real crooks are here.
Reminds me of an old favorite joke of mine.
What goes:
clop clop clop BANG CLOP CLOP CLOP CLOP
An Amish drive by...
We just finished selling them for $3.50 a box in my daughter’s troop. I can remember when they were about half that—in the Dark Ages ;)
Our kids in Charlotte NC are chargeing 4.50??
