I enjoy a good criminal story as much as the next person. That being said I decided to look back through some of our previous stories and found my faith in the human race had a serious chink in it. So in order to restore my faith I began to look for something different - I found it.
This story starts off like most; a store left empty which under normal circumstances would have led to looting and pillaging - then undoubtedly progressing into a high speed chase followed by a mass tasering of all parties involved, not this time.
NBC New York reports that a northern New Jersey shop is thanking four teens captured on surveillance cameras paying for batteries and headphones, even though the store was closed.
The owners of Buddy's Small Lots in Wayne, N.J., said they got a call that the store had been broken into about 7 p.m. Sunday night. They later learned a malfunctioning lock left the door to the closed shop open to anyone who wanted to walk in.
But they were shocked by what they saw in surveillance footage of the supposed break-in.
Four teens were seen walking around the store looking for a clerk and waving at the cameras. Then they did a little shopping, leaving cash on the counter for everything they took, sales tax included.
"I think it's terrific that there are still people out there with moral character not to do the wrong thing when they easily could," said Marci Lederman with the store.
The store's owners were so surprised by the teens that they started looking for them. They found the four William Patterson High School football players Tuesday.
The store promised gift certificates to the men before their identities were known.
One of the teens, Jelani Bruce, said his dad told him "I'm proud of you for doing something good."
Faith restored - now on to find some tasering.
