A few weeks ago in NYC this A+ list mostly movie actor walked into a store with three of his friends. One of the friends is a former almost A list actor who really has scrambled for roles the past couple of decades. Over the course of an hour the four people went in and out of the store three times. At the end of their visits the store was missing two jackets. One of the jackets cost $65K and the other jacket about half that amount. No one noticed the items were stolen until they showed up missing during an inventory check right before Christmas. The surveillance video was looked at and on six separate cameras were our actor and his friends walking out of the store with the jackets. The owner of the store called our actor's people and sent them a copy of the video which the owner also keeps on his phone and is happy to show anyone who buys him a drink. The actor's people said they were just random friends our actor met a club. Umm, they are the same group of people he has been running with for years. Apparently they have run this little scam before. Not so much to make money but just to get a little rush. After some back and forth and a little warning about TMZ maybe getting the videos our actor paid for the items.
