If you have ever had your stuff stolen, you know how much it sucks. And it is not just because you no longer have your stuff, but also because you then are burdened with going out and replacing the stuff that you thought you already had – especially if the stolen item happens to be the one thing keeping food from instantly spoiling at your house and all your beer cold.
Your refrigerator is always there for you, keeping your fruits and vegetables boxes of cheap wine cold for when you need them. You probably take for granted having your fridge around, mostly because you do not hear about too many people having their fridges stolen. I suppose them being huge, heavy, and awkward has a lot to do with this – but, it is probably also due to the fact that stealing a refrigerator is just the ultimate dick move. Which makes this attempted robbery, as reported in the Desert Sun, so damn terrible:
The investigation began about 12:55 a.m. when police received a report of a burglary at an unoccupied home in the 500 block of Burton Way. A witness reported people loaded a refrigerator onto a utility trailer that was attached to a vehicle, and they drove off without the headlights on.
Officers later caught up with the vehicle and arrested two passengers in the backseat – this after the two people in the front seats fled – expected jerk move from alleged fridge thieves, I suppose.
One of the suspects was caught a short time later but police are looking for the fourth person who is described as a black man, 25 to 30, 6 feet tall, 220 pounds, with shoulder-length dreadlocks. He wore a white T-shirt and is about 25 to 30 years old, 6 feet tall and 220 pounds.
