Not even the Girl Scouts are safe from Seattle’s slimeballs.
Police are on the hunt for a man who is suspected of stealing $600 from a troop as they sold cookies on a frigid March 3 night. The adult who was with them lamented not trusting her gut instinct after he bought cookies, returned them, and then continued to loiter around the area.
“I saw him out of the corner of my eye walk towards us, and I was like, I guess he’s going to get more cookies, and he started running, and he pushed past one of the girls and grabbed the money,” Jennifer Johanson told a local NBC affiliate March 4.
“I don’t want to scare them, but I do want to them to learn to be aware — more aware than I was, apparently,” she continued. “Especially because I have two girls. I want them to learn to trust that feeling that they have.”
The attack happened outside a Northgate QFC grocery store.
“I’m just like, ’who steals from super-cold girl scouts, you know?” she told the station. “I was trying to look on the bright side and thought, “well, at least they earned their ’urban living badge.’”
The girls will not be required to pay for the stolen assets, the station reported.
