lets see if I can sum this up

Finds a phone while shopping for munchies at Walmart at midnight. Decides to not turn into lost and found. Feeling that the employees of Walmart are not Moral Beacons. He gets arrested for theft of found property. Spends a week in jail because he doesn't have any friends to pay his bail and his girlfriend doesn't love him enough. Now he's full of rage on the internet.

Edit: oh and he admits to thievery actions before, and not feeling bad about it. Which makes his story even more skeevy

Here are the cliffs:

(1) OP & GF get stoned from weed, and go to WalMart at 2am for munchies
(2) OP's GF cashes welfare check and takes "forever" shopping for Doritos
(3) OP "finds" a phone on a shelf in walmart
(4) OP decides his stealing, stoner self is more trustworthy than WalMart employees and doesnt turn in the "lost" phone
(5) OP leaves walmart and goes outside, apparently for an hour
(6) Owner of Phone from #3 realizes its missing.. Calls the cops, who dust for prints and find the OP outside, stoned.
(7) OP Goes to jail.. GF realizes munchies > stoner theif BF and lets him rot for a week
(8) OP comes back to ATOT, bumps stolen Blu Ray thread a few times
(9) A week later, OP sobers up.. and posts on ATOT about how he was unfairly arrested for doing a good deed.
(10) ATOT picks apart OPs "story"
(11) ATOT reminds OP how he flaunted the fact he steals and is proud of it
(12) OP becomes butthurt, and reports everyone for being mean
(13) Mods enter thread and make fun of OP for being a stoner loser theif
(14) OP picks up ball and runs home crying.
(15) Hilarity ensues.

why cant you just show me where he admits to being a stoner/theif?:colbert:

Certainly. It's all in the links in post 33 here:

Yes, I know a lot more about you than you do. If you laid off the harder stuff life may be different.

The OP also recently (8/31) tried to start a donation thread for his g/f here, I kid you not! It was moved to Mod Limbo Land, but here is the his OP.

Well, after giving our first child up for adoption (please dont judge, we dont have the money, space, or even a car...so it WAS the best thing to do...), being molested/raped by her father from a young age, abusive boyfriends, shitty ass family (like out of her WHOLE family she only talks to her step mom...seriously...)...so she calls a psychiatrist and sets up an appointment today. We go in (she has insurance with her job) and they want a $50 co-pay...we tell them we don't have the money and they just basically tell us so the fuck what. They turned her down KNOWING her problems and how big they are over 50 GODDAMN DOLLARS!

So, if someone out there could help us with just $50 that would be awesome! Like, thats seriously all we need. $50 bucks. Donate just a dollar!

She really needs help guys, like needs to be medicated and shit, and we really need some help here. If you can help us (me, my God she needs help!) shoot me a PM or send what you can to my Paypal @ AndroidVageta@gmail.com.

OBVIOUSLY this isn't a scam at all...just a cry for help since we can't seem to find it anywhere else.
Finally, I gave his a vacation for soliticing fraud ideas here.

He's a real sweetheart, he is.

Edit: Oh, HEY, he's been GREAT in FS/FT, too! Here's a sampling of his mod notes from 5 different mods:

3/28/08 no email/profile in fs/ft

2/10/09 Warned about linking to items f/s at another site

2/11/09 warned again about linking to items fs at another site, next give him a week off for not listening

Warned about possibly advocating fraud (intentionally frying a mobo for RMA). May have been joking.

2-1-09

3/23/09 multiple fs threads

4/16/09 again multiple threads in fs/ft next is a vacation

found multiple FS/T threads again as well a a thread with disregard for the 4 hour bump rule. Trade with jammer53 with very slowing shipping (finally cancelled by jammer53)was also discussed. Mods decided not to vacation him since these violations were from 2 to 6 weeks ago. Next FS/T violation of any sort will be an instant one week vacation. Sent a lengthy PM regarding his behavior in FS/T. keep an eye on him to see if he keeps his word. 12-28-09

1/3/10 - locked out of forums due to ongoing dispute with jammer53. Someone is lying in this transaction and I believe it's AndroidVageta jerking everyone around

Mod discussion to let him continue in FS/T with a warning that any violation at all will be a week off. If he conducts a bad trade (non-communication, late shipping etc) a long ban will ensue. He agreed to all the above and to keep his nose clean 1-12-10

That didn't last long. A third violation of the 4 hour bump rule. Gave him a week off for the infraction. 1-23-10

This thread is seriously the best thing I can remember on ATOT since Casiotech was around. I'm so glad I witnessed this. It was kind of like being able to see Jordan play the Blazers and Sonics when I was in college.

ohh you missed the amazing thread where some idiot tried to claim he was getting ripped off on Ebay. he sold a (i think it was) a motherboard. but had hidden text on the auction that people found. he was scamming people and got pissed when he got scammed.

then got pissed that some here found it. it was a great thread.
