A Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania man used his 9-year-old daughter as a ploy to collect money for Girl Scout cookies he never ordered or delivered. Cody Patrick Wylie, 33, was arraigned last Tuesday on charges of theft and receiving stolen property. He and his daughter took door-to-door cookie orders from as many as 100 people, and collected $124 in preorders. Police said he demanded cash upfront for the cookies, which isn’t customary. Pat Bigenho, whose husband bought two boxes for $8, said she’s disappointed in Wylie. “We trusted him,” she said. “To think that this kind of thing is going on in your neighborhood is not good.”
* “And where’s my damn cookies?” she added, rightfully so.
* “This kind of thing going on in your neighborhood”? Wait ’til she finds out about the meth labs.
* Fake cookie orders. As if people selling stuff door-to-door wasn’t bad enough.
* This is like when Jehovah’s Witnesses come to the door, and then afterwards – no Armageddon.
* Wow, missing with the sanctity of our cookie supply? That’s extremely painful.
* I mean ISIS is bad, but not this bad.
* I’m going to have to buy some more cookies just to get over this.
* I think we have a sequel to “Paper Moon” brewing here. Remember that? Ryan and Tatum O’Neal as a father-daughter scam team?
* Maybe the girl was working on a merit badge in grifting.
