Florida beach thiefs got caught on camera

[Yunru]

A Florida man celebrating the Fourth of July with his friends and family on New Smyrna Beach noticed two middle-aged women trying to make off with his tent canopy, beach chairs, boogie boards, and kids' toys. So he confronted them, with a cameraphone, and got an unexpected fireworks show.

"Is that yours?" the man asks the two ladies, who appear flummoxed as they try to break down his canopy and abscond with it.

"Yeah," one woman tells him, "but we don't know how to do it."

"Oh," he says, almost snickering. "You need some help?"

"Do you know how to do it?" both women ask him.

"Yeah," he says. "This is our stuff."

After a long, awkward pause, the ladies try to double down and claim the gear is theirs. "No," says the man. "It's all ours. All of it. The chairs, the bags, this is all our stuff... My kid's, yeah, that's my kids'. I'm sorry," he says, as the shocked women look at each other and try to figure out their next move.

"That's okay," he says, "we'll let it slide. I'm glad I made it [back] in time."

The ladies do not let it slide. Rather, they appear to assault him. One of the women yells at him for recording the event, chasing him to get at the camera, and appears to hit him. "Seriously?" he says, laughing, as the video cuts off.

I reached out to the man—who asked that we refer to him only by his first name, Rich—through a mutual friend, and he gave some additional background on the encounter, including what happened after the video cut out; it involves one of the women screaming at Rich, "I'll grab your dick!":

Faint in humanity lost?
Its kinda hard to expect to be robbed by old people. I would understand young. But old...

There must be a video to restore my faint in humanity, somewhere!

But seriously, I can't believe they tried to make it sound like it was their own things by playing stupid. Uh, yeah, all of it is NOT yours.

No can do.
Beach thiefs are quite common even in my country. But they usualy steal more valuable stuff (like cell phones), that you leave while you go swiming.
You always need to have one family member on guard.
In croatia i got stolen:
1 boat (cheap crap)
4 balls
Air compresor
and other minor things.

Well your faith should still be pretty strong, according to the guy, they left their stuff completely unattended for about an hour and a half. So considering it was safe for that long, and wasn't in any danger until the moment he returned..i'd say that's pretty damn good luck lol

Stupid old people, they could have gotten away free if they had only started stealing it 30 mins earlier or so.

Thanks Florida!

I hate the beach. So much. No only do I ALWAYS get sunburns, but now I have to worry about middle-aged women stealing my shit. Not even good looking middle aged women too!

[Deleted]

That is so strange , I can't comprehend just seeing peoples things on a beach and thinking it would be okay to take them!

Like seriously , they just seem like two normal middle aged woman. It boggles the mind.
I suppose there is no one below theft.

[Polarthief]

Not even good looking middle aged women too!

Least you don't have to be 23 living down here. Count your blessings.

They arent black so probably no prison time for this so called ladies. with an attitude like that i am sure they are solid teaparty supporters as well.
