RossInfoMan Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 TV Thief Caught When He Returns For Remote Control Man Poses As Angry Customer MOSCOW -- There's more proof that men can't live without their remote controls. Police in a western Russian city say they didn't think they'd be able to catch a thief who stole a TV set from a store. That is until the man came back to claim the remote control from the stunned clerks. The clerks recognized the guy when he came back, posing as an angry customer and claiming the store didn't give him the warranty, clicker, antenna and instruction manual. The clerks called police, who detained the man. They say they later found the stolen TV at his apartment. Copyright 2003 by The Associated Press.

DurableTear Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 There's more proof that men can't live without their remote controls. It's a hassle to get up. Those walks to the TV are horrible... feels like walking 3 miles in the desert. :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgator Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 I remember when I was the remote for my parents. We would sit closer to the TV and my parents would shout commands"] Ahhhh, the memories. I remember 7 stations growing up, and if we were really lucky (and the antenna worked just right) you could also get 1 or 2 UHF stations as well. Of course, all the sets had to be changed by turning the channel knob, which children always loved to turn WAY too fast. This would always lead to the regular "Easy, you're going to break it" speech. Where did I put those rabbit ears??????? later....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
