Hungry Thieves Steal $19,000 Worth of Girl Scout Cookies
Call if the great cookie caper.
Call if the great cookie caper.
When those sugar peddlers in green sashes come to your door this Girl Scout cookie season there will be a new treat on the menu.
Instead of canvassing the neighborhood, Abigail and Caitlin Mills of Hazelwood, MO, have for the last six years conducted their annual sale of Girl Scouts cookies from their parents’ front yard.
The duo ran into a snag this year, however, when a neighbor complained to the local authorities about the commotion caused by this Thin Mint commerce.
Citing this complaint and a code against selling products from the home, the city of Hazelwood demanded the girls take down their stand.
I won't lie. I've got a thing for Girl Scout cookies. Put a box of Tagalongs in front of me and I'll make them disappear in about two minutes flat. Put another box of them in front of me and I will curse your name even as I make that second box disappear.
But I won't do that trick with any of Hersha Howard's Thin mints. Why? Because Hersha loves her Thin Mints to the point of violence.
