Some guy from S.C. steals mystery fountain drink from Wawa

POSTED: Friday, July 8, 2011, 4:28 PM

Let me preface this by saying Chadds Ford is one of those Delaware County towns that doesn't have its own police department. That means it's patrolled by state police, which means every taxpayer in Pennsylvania chipped in a little bit for this investigation:

Here are the verbatim "incident details" from a state police report from Trooper McMurray that was faxed to the Daily News yesterday: "The actor entered WaWa and bought a sandwich. After purchasing the sandwich, the actor went and got a fountain drink. When asked twice if he was going to pay for it, the actor said no, it was water and fled the scene."

That is all.

Sometimes you got to ask yourself whether the crime you just witnessed is really worth making that call to the cops. But if anyone wants to solve this, the soda snatcher (or could it really have been water?) reportedly drove away in a brown Chevy Impala with South Carolina tags.

Manhunt!

    It could have been worse. The man could have stolen a loaf of bread. (My apologies to Victor Hugo.)

    Maybe in South Carolina you get complimentary water with your convenient store sandwiches?

    Ewww. Who still buys sandwiches from Wawa? All pre-sliced. pre-packaged meats and cheeses. Awful.

    It's "Wawa", not "WaWa".

    Townships (not towns) that opt not to maintain their own police force pay the state police to handle their calls.

    To quote aviator
    Next time, officers, aim for the head. No need to clog our court system with these useless degenerates.

    Another crime spree from the lawless, street gangs that populate the Chadds Ford area. Afraid to leave my house and go to the CVS across the street. What if they demand water from me or hold me hostage for a bottle of Deer Park? I'm moving back to the city, OH the humanity!
