Aha!

I understand now! I understand why so many people think Evolution is myth! It must be that whole "survival of the fittest" thing! Clearly, these people read the papers and see how many unbelievably stupid human beings are living today, and then just can't buy into the idea that these morons are fit to survive anything! That must be the reason.

University students conned out of jewelry, $4,000

Two suspected thieves didn’t have to work very hard to con a University student out of $4,000 in cash and $1,000 worth of jewelry Tuesday afternoon.According to the Athens-Clarke County Police:

Two females approached 21-year-old Stacy Elzey of Fayetteville outside Target on Atlanta Highway around 1 p.m., saying they found a bag containing $50,000 in cash. Elzey, who did not know the women, told them the money wasn’t hers and advised them to look for the owner and call police. She allowed the women to enter her car and drove them to a Michael’s store, where one of the suspects said she worked. (For those of you not familiar with the area, Target and Michael's share a parking lot! ~CJ) While in the car, one of the suspects said she “needed to speak to her boss and ask about the situation.” She went into Michael’s, while Elzey and the second suspect waited in the car for five to 10 minutes. The suspect returned and said her boss told her it was OK to keep the money. She told Elzey they could split the money three ways — but they needed $5,000 cash to cover “taxes.” The suspects told Elzey if she could give them $4,000, they would cover the other $1,000. Elzey drove them to the Wachovia Bank at Atlanta Highway and Mitchell Bridge Road and took out a $4,000 cash advance on her credit card. She drove the suspects back to Michael’s, where she gave them the cash and $1,000 worth of jewelry she was wearing. The suspects walked away without giving Elzey any money.

Elzey did not return phone calls from The Red & Black as of press time Wednesday. One suspect was described as a dark-skinned black female between 45 and 50 years old, 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 7 inches tall and about 160 pounds. She had medium-length hair and was wearing a leopard print dress. The other suspect was described as a dark-skinned black female between 25 and 35-years-old, with medium-length hair, wearing blue floral-print scrubs. There were no estimates of her height and weight. One of the suspects identified herself as Bernese, but police did not say which one.

Police are analyzing surveillance videos from Target and the Wachovia Bank for evidence. The video from Target shows the suspects with Elzey. Lt. Mike Tyndell said a similar incident happened approximately one week ago in the same location. The victim in that case willingly gave approximately the same amount of money to the suspects. He said police believe the suspects in both cases were the same women, and the victims in both cases were young Asian females. Police have no specific suspects, and no arrests have been made, he said. When asked why victims would cooperate with suspects in cases like these, Tyndell said, “I think greed takes over.”

I can only hope the these students were immediately expelled from the University, as clearly they are too stupid to be in college. Life lessons learned:

1. Don't let strangers into your car.

2. A person who has a bag full of $50K in cash, doesn't need anymore cash, don't give them any.

3. Never trust a person who gets tax advice from a manager at Michael's.
