A Brooklyn, N.Y. man decided that the Christmas season was for taking and not giving.
On December 23, an employee at a retailer on Flatbush Avenue told police he saw the suspect walk out of the store near Atlantic Avenue with an estimated $224 of footwear and socks. The would-be theif wrapped the anti-theft sensors with aluminum foil to thwart the alarms from going off as he exited the store.
The man was arrested later that day and he was charged with petty larceny.
