Hilarious : 2 crooks steal over $38,000 worth of sticks!

Recommended Posts

http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/a-most-canadian-break-in-security-video-shows-thieves-stealing-38000-worth-of-hockey-sticks

lol...i found that completely hilarious (wouldnt have if i owned that store).....but man.....to take Joe Pesci words in Goodfellas : Whats the world coming to? when hockey equipment and sticks in particular are sooooooooooo ridiculously expensive that people resort to go John Dillenger style to get their hands on these mofos...

you'd think that 38 thousand dollars !! 38 Grand !! would be a huge amount of sticks...but no......merely 128 twigs will run you to that amount nowadays.

i remember when i first tried to convince my dad in the mid 90's to buy me the first stick that i ever saw priced over $50 he almost had a heart attack (some red easton composite shaft, jr size...maybe someone can help me out here...it was just after the era of the H2000 Gold and aluminum shafts, and right before the ultralite shafts).

needless to tell you that i have no clue how it played, he never bought it!! now sticks are priced at $345 thanks to our canadian taxes lol........thank god my dad is not the purchasing officer anymore.

back to the story; anyone with information about their unsportsmanlike conduct is asked to call Det. Sgt. Marie-Eve Leclerc at 819-243-2345 ext. 7625

Yea, remember like 10 years ago buying my son a Jr. Easton Stealth for Christmas for $100 and thinking, WTF... Wish it was like Dish Network and I could get a price lock on sticks...

That's crazy, focusing on certain sticks ect. during their heist. Also crazy how fast those sticks add up price wise, though do people in Canada really pay $300 for a MX3?

I remember when synergys were just hitting the market and someone drive a car through the front door of a shop in Toronto in order to steal a bunch of them.

Yeah, we were in town for the trade show and we went to the store and they were repairing the door and installing the pillars.

The guys backed a pickup truck into the door and started to load sticks into the truck.

lol........something's very wrong when hockey sticks are worth more than the damage you'll do to your car by slamming it in the front door of a store!

Usually it's a stolen car or truck, so not exactly a consequence to the driver and accomplice.

Pretty sure that it was stolen in that case as well.

$319.99 for the 1S.

Edit: Plus tax.

Hence why I always buy Easton's from the previous year on close out for $119.99. Hope that trend can continue.

I mean, he only missed them by about 9 minutes. So not too far off. Better than the U.S, it would read more like 22:00 - Crooks are there... 02:37 Entire SWAT team shows up and clears building.

Hence why Easton Hockey was sold for about 1/2 of what was offered for it a couple of years ago.

Without doing the math, I thought there was no way would 130 $300 sticks add up to $38,000, and somebody did some bad math. Two things:

A) This is why I don't track how much I spend on hockey, and I'm not going to start.

B) I am bad at estimating.

im glad i never kept track of how much money i spent on hockey. i'd probably have a heart attack.

if any of you do find out that amount, please make sure to conceal it from the wife/girlfriend or you'll hear about it.

kinda makes me wanna become a crook and go John Dillinger style...and get top-end free shit lol. :ph34r:

you can't imagine how many clappers i'd take with them, i'd go on a rampage. :rolleyes:

Actually it was hit 4 times 3 times with a tow truck and the last was a stolen car right through the whole front facia. I arrived first because I lived closest. There is more to the story but due to safety reasons for my own health I wont be repeating it on line...LOL If Sean feels its ok he can when back from the honeymoon.

Hope they got the good selling curves AND not the curves that dont sell well. That would really suck (for them)

These goofs knew where they where going and where the camera was....these guys had to have been in the store recently to make sure they where gonna get what they wanted when they came in the middle of the night. wonder how much of the security footage is saved.

they didnt really care to know where the camera was....they got filmed and probably knew they were being filmed, its just hard to see their faces anyways....

on the second video its funny to see this one guy carrying about like 50 sticks try 3 times to get out of the door. ROFL

i dont think i could have ever pulled off this crime....i would have been laughing so hard the whole time that i couldnt concentrate on anything lol.

i feel really bad for the owner ...40k...damn....how does the insurance work? if any

Must have insurance.

I personally would not have been able to commit this crime, I'd have to flex every damn stick on my way through and out of the store.
