3) The Wal-Mart Pensioner

During December 2007 a woman of 70-years-of age decided to call the corridors of Wal-Mart home for three whole days. She shopped and slept in the retailer’s expansive corridors and dined at Blimpie (a bit like Subway apparently) when the need arose. (That’s not her in the picture above obvs, I was just rather taken with her amazing and practical shopping outfit so I thought I’d share it with you).

When the woman was finally caught and asked why she had been in the shop for so long, she simply replied “I’m shopping”. The police escorted her off the premises.

4) Marshall’s

This next tale takes us to Longmont, Colorado and involves our first bout of criminal intent. The rest of the stories are, if anything, a little bit sad. This one, however, involves a cold cup of karma and a side salad of “you deserved that”.

Paul Felyk decided to break into Marshall’s, fell through a vent and got himself lodged between an inner and outer wall. After three whole days trapped in there staff finally heard the sound of a human moaning and called the emergency services. Using power tools the fire crew liberated Felyk’s husk of a body from the wall cavity. He was proper hungry and massively dehydrated but fine.

That’ll teach him.
