DESTIN -- A man was arrested Christmas Eve after Walmart employees watched him put a Wii in his pants, according to his arrest reports.
After putting the $199 console in his pants, the 28-year-old Niceville man left the store without paying for the item and was stopped by store employees.
"I realize I messed up," he said in a "spontaneous statement" after being taken into custody. "I don't have a job and I just wanted to get my son something for Christmas."

“...after searching the man, police reports indicated that the suspect had concealed a Wii and a wee-wee.”
He got all Wii Wiid up!
Typical leftist sentiment: it’s okay to steal as long as the motive is good.
Found an extra Wii in his pants.
Obligatory FR joke:
‘Is that a Wii in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?’
XMas afternoon, what were they playing with? The packaging from a new file cabinet I was putting together.
Nice try on this guy's part.
I can understand the hardship of not having a job.
But I can't understand what he expected the kid to learn from this, even if he had gotten away with it.
"Daddy, how did you get this when you don't have a job?"
"Daddy, why did you go to jail instead of just playing with me?"
Is that Mario in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?
(By the way, when I was stationed at Eglin AFB, back in the early 70’s, I lived in Niceville. My NY friends and family loved making fun of that name.)

He’s a regular Jean Valjean.
-ROFL-
He probably enjoys playing with the joystick.
I smuggled out two baseballs and a bat from a sporting goods store this way. The security guard gave me her phone number.
(Okay, I’m done).
Who wants this after it has rubbed up against his Wii Wii ?
Good!
Idiot. Why didn’t he apply for a JOB at WalMart? They’re always hiring extra folks during the Christmas holidays. That way he could have bought that Wii with a store discount, and showed his son some PRIDE for Christmas!
Hey!

The Lone Ranger looks at Tonto and says, “Looks like we have to make a stand here, my friend.”
Tonto says: “What you mean “wii”, Kimosabe?”
