Bratz Dolls Prove Too Tempting For One Officer

I really can’t improve on the lead here, so let’s just go with the first sentence of this NBC 10 report:

As if Philadelphia police don’t have enough problems with crime and the criticism they’ve taken for the increasing number of homicides, now they seem to have a problem with allegations of a shoplifting police officer.

Yes, the station reported a police officer — in uniform — allegedly stole several things from a West Kensington Rite Aid. And what important items was he taking? Baby formula? Important medicine?

Pfft. Of course not. The cop was allegedly stealing (1) small action figures and (2) matchbox cars. Most likely, he was taking “Homies,” or maybe a toy from the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. The 26th district officer wasn’t charged with anything, because all he took was matchbox cars and action figures and also he’s a police officer. Apparently it’s also on tape.

But, really: Matchbox cars? Geeze, at least go to a gas station and take a Hess truck or something.
