“How the **** is this funny, what the **** is so funny about about a Skittles heist?”

A little candy can add up to a rainbow of trouble.
A man caught removing tires from a truck has been charged with stealing the tractor-trailer containing $250,000 worth of Skittles, police said.
Seven pallets of the 28 in the truck are still missing, authorities said. Alan Chavez, 22, has been charged with first-degree felony theft. It was unclear Monday whether he had a lawyer.
Chavez said he had paid someone else $500 for the truck's rims and tires, police said. The truck has an estimated value of $85,000, and the trailer's value is $30,000.
(This version CORRECTS that the truck contained $250,000 worth of Skittles, instead of saying the man was charged with stealing that amount.)
Well, good, I'm glad we cleared that up. :O) Besides, it would be a b*tch to count out all 250,000 Skittles individually.
I am glad I have an alibi!
If I’m not careful raising my 7 yr. old son this could be him someday.

“So I followed the rainbow of fruit flavor out to this field wayyyy the **** out in Secaucus . . . “
“Yo dawg, whatchoo in for?”
“Mmmrrrbrrrr.”
“What-dat?”
“I said stealing $250 Gs worth of skittles!”
“Oh. Bend over!”
People are having way too much fun with this. Now, if it were a Snickers heist, it would be no laughing matter.

I hate it when I do that.
Do you know where your kids were when this went down...
But I paid for them, I swear.

DALLAS — What’s the best thing about this item about a guy who was discovered by the cops on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. in the 5100 block of Lamar Street South seemingly having stolen a tractor-trailer truck?
