How Daniel Ross Stole Christmas
To continue with our coverage of Christmas dirty doings, heres a story about Daniel Rios, a young Yonkers man who reminds us that theres a little Grinch inside everyone (I mean figuratively, ew). Picture this: Youre at a Christmas party and all of sudden realize how flippin hard-up you are. You down some champagne, all the while getting angrier and angrier as your boss makes his rounds, congratulating everyoneyour co-workers, secretary, the janitoron a good years work. But wait, he doesnt say a word to you! Not one iota of encouragement. Damn the Man, you think! So you covertly make your way to the office safe and withdraw a piddling $14,000 in staff bonuses and money. Thatll show them! Next, you go on a shopping spree, braving crowds and equally disgruntled members of the workforce, spend $7,500 in cash before your conscience kicks in and you realize, hey, this is wrong, Ive stolen from my fellow 9-to-5-ers. So youre compelled to give back about $6,500 in cash. Stupid conscience. Thats more or less what happened to Daniel Rios (OK, less). Poor guy. Read the real sad tale and others [here].
