A Chicago Girl Scout Troop on the northwest side of Chicago was the victim of a cookie theft over the weekend, after dozens of boxes of Thin Mints were reported stolen in broad daylight while the troop was working to sort through orders.
According to officials, on Saturday afternoon, scouts aged 5 to 11 and parents from Troop 25778 were unloading and sorting cookies on pallets near 6160 W. Higgins Road. As the troop began to organize orders, an individual approached and grabbed boxes without paying, reports say.
“We put the cookies on the sidewalk out in front, and then we started sorting,"

We stopped buying Gs cookies years ago from this WOKE indoctrinated little commie organization. Waaaay overpriced, to boot.

This is really sad. I wish I had some money I could spare. I would help at least a little bit. My mom was a cookie mom when I was in Girl Scouts and I remember how much of a project sorting the cookies could be. This cookie thief is beneath contempt.

Coincidentally, Chicago Mayor Lori Lighfoot was seen at a ribbon-cutting event on W. Higgins Road. More news at six.

Caught on Ring. The culprit has an uncanny resemblance to a certain Sesame Street character.

Half a dozen boxes of these dry tasteless overpriced cookies? I would not let my child engage in this scam.

A really rotten person, those are my favorite kind. But, I don't support the lefty stuff that the GSA does, so I stopped buying.

A. Chicago. B. Didn't WalMart have clones of thin mints? and C. I think #2 was being generous.

How long was no one around that he was able to snatch up 84 boxes? What was he driving?

Why no physical description of the perp or even the car?

FYI
Aldi has a chocolate mint cookie very similar to the Thin Mints.....and a much better price.
I haven't bought the GS cookies for 25 years.
My mother was a cookie Mom which means I did the tabulating. It was fun.

When the Girl Scouts became a femi-Nazi, lesbian grooming, abortion propaganda, group a couple of decades ago, they lost all of my support. I used to buy at least a dozen boxes of cookies every year to support them, but I haven't bought a single box in many years now.
That being said, I do hope they catch this guy and put him away for a long time. Stealing from kids is never right!!!!!

FTA: “ However, Chicago police have not at this point recovered the cookies.”
Yeah, right; as the police spokesperson wipes their mouth.

Remember the enterprising skulls full of mush setting up their table outside a Pot Dispensary a few years back?
Now a random "420" dollars worth of thin mints?
The GSA is in cahoots with the STONERS of this country!
There are no coincidences....

Re #8, speak for yourself. IMO, the Thin Mints are excellent....but still overpriced and supporting a group that I won't support.
Aldis has a really super good cookie which is a dead ringer if anyone out there is suffering Thin Mint Withdrawal. I haven't bought them in a few year....so maybe I'm out of date, but they certainly used to carry them.

The article avoids describing the race of the thief, but this is Chicago, so I can guess.

Maybe the thief is transgender Identifying as a Girl Scout when it's really the fat boy from the back of the classroom. Check his breath for extreme mint smell.

As much as I like Thin Mints I refuse to support Girl Scouts and its militant lesbian leadership in DC that supports abortion, I.e. butchering unborn children. The sight of the cute little girls selling cookies in the supermarket parking lot is completely incongruous with the hardened, humorless feminazis in DC leading the Girl Scouts.
