An Ace Hardware thief’s “noticeable bulge” turned out to be a stolen power tool. It wasn’t what it looked like, unfortunately for him.
People try all sorts of ways to shoplift and steal from stores. Some are more clever than others. Some actually end up working when others do not and only lead to you being arrested. This is one of those cases. It happened at an Ace Hardware store in Evansville, Indiana. Law enforcement was called to the Ace Hardware on Pollack Avenue where Joseph Courbat was found concealing power tools down the front of his pants, per 14 News. Maybe he thought he could just pass it off as his bulge? That didn’t end up happening. You can see his mugshot provided by the Vanderburgh County Jail below.
