West Palm Beach resident Christopher Caldwell tried to smuggle a PlayStation 4 console out of a Wal-Mart store in his pants – but was caught by police with his trousers down. The 36-year-old squeezed the six pound system next to his crown jewels, and then subsequently tried to pile a couple of accessories on top. We hope that he didn't damage his joystick.
The thief was intercepted by security before he could escape with the unpaid goods, and was temporarily jailed for the incident. According to the arrest affidavit, he was sporting a pair of baggy pants similar to those made famous by 90s superstar M.C. Hammer. He must have hoped that cops wouldn't be able to touch him with such a foolproof plan, but he's now facing a felony grand theft charge.

I wouldn't be surpirised if it actually was MC Hammer... Although he strikes me more as an Xbox user: good luck smuggling one of those in your pants!
"He must have hoped that cops wouldn't be able to touch him" hahaha
Everyone knows you're supposed to steal something smaller and more valuable, then just buy a PS4 with the proceeds..😅
@charlesnarles most criminals are just plain stupid.
Sadly, he was prolly trying to steal it for his kids birthday or something. Hopefully the lesson is learned here, the ps4 is smaller than the xbone, but not small enough to ride under ur junk:)

"Sadly, he was prolly trying to steal it for his kids birthday or something"
I seriously doubt that. He was probably trying to steal it for his local crack dealer. That's the unfortunate reality of the situation, and most situations like these.
STOP!!! Jail time.
WTF? LOL!
@Tasuki STOP!! Slammer time.
@ApostateMage brilliant!
That's nothing. Here a woman put a flatscreen TV under her long skirt and actually escaped the shop successfully. The security camera caught her but not the cops.
if it was a 52" or more, that would be impressive, otherwise meh.
I wonder if he tried to steal Grand Theft Auto too.
He's probably an Xbox fanboy and just thought that the PS4 is PANTS!!!
