A Man Steals a Couch . . . And Gets Busted a Few Days Later Trying to Steal a Matching Rug
It would be really hard to steal a couch by yourself . . . there’s a reason people hire movers when they’re LEGALLY moving their own couches. But earlier this month, Michael McClerin managed to do it.
Michael broke into a store called Gorman’s Home Furnishings and managed to successfully steal a $6,500 leather couch.
But apparently he isn’t just a good furniture thief . . . he’s also a pretty good interior decorator.
Michael realized just having the couch wasn’t good enough . . . he also needed a matching RUG. So about a week later, he broke into the same furniture store AGAIN, to get a rug for his new living room set.
But that time, the cops say he left enough evidence behind that they were able to track him down.
He was arrested on Thursday for theft. When the cops searched his place, they found more than $100,000 worth of stolen items. Read the full story here
