Now I want to set up a highwayman themed Lemonade Stand that also does home deliveries, called “Stand & Deliver!”
I doubt I’ll do justice to the uniform.

You appear to be quite… adamant about that.

Stand and De-lemon?
Did the video yield licence plate details?

Now you’ve got me thinking about an offal stall, called “Stand and De-Liver”.

Sweet. Meat. It’ll be visceral, I’m sure. But you’ll be offering a vital service.

wow. what a crook. That guy knew he was stealing it. He knew he had to be quick.
What I don’t get is that if the kid was going back to get more cups where was the lemonade?

Given that that looks like a $30-40,000 pickup truck, I’m guessing that the thief wasn’t driven to a life of crime by economic necessity.

I suppose its a lesson of never leaving important things unattended. That said, i hope they catch the idiot in the truck.

LOL, you haven’t shopped for pickups lately, have you? At least $50k, likely north of $60k.

I give it three hours before Lumpy blames it on those darn Haitian-Venezuelans.

I’ve got one for sale right here, cheap! Fell off the back of a truck. I mean, fell INTO the back of a truck.

That’s only what the reporter said. I think the stand was still in the set-up phase. The proprietor had built the key infrastructure and was in the process of supplying the goods for sale when the crime occurred.
I’m trying to think of a way in which Moar Guns would have prevented this theft. Even if the boy had been tooled up to the nines, he wasn’t ever in realistic range of the perp. Perhaps a Claymore mine on the lemonade stand?
To be serious, though, I’d agree this was clearly an actual theft, not a mistake. What kind of guy cruises the streets and suddenly decides to half-inch some garden furniture on impulse? Maybe his neighbours will peach on him, after they view the TV news.

Any word on whether a GoFundMe has been set up for this kid? Seems a worthy one, if only to restore a bit of one kid’s faith in humanity.
