When he and a friend arrived at the West Croydon store at just before 10:00pm on Wednesday, the drive-through was closed so they parked nearby. After two hours in the queue they returned to their car with six boxes of doughnuts when the thief struck. “He was pretty much saying ‘if you don’t give me the doughnuts now I’m going to stab you’,” one of the boys said. The thief took the doughnuts but did not demand anything else.
The other victim said: “It’s pretty bad, you think he’d take the money or something, but he took the doughnuts.” Police hope security video will help identify the suspect. They want any witnesses to come forward. The thief is described as a Caucasian man aged 16 to 20, about 165cm tall and wearing a black hooded jumper and black trackpants.

Doughnut chain Krispy Kreme this week opened its first South Australian chain, with some customers queuing outside for days before the opening. The store manager Mark Higginbottom believes the robbery was an isolated incident, but he will be beefing up security just in case. He has promised to replace the stolen doughnuts, but the boys say they are too frightened to revisit the store.

When I read about the theft of the railroad tracks above this story, I thought, "Isn't there anything that people won't steal?" Then I read this story. Apparently not.
You're right, Shak.
It appears that nothing is off limits.
Ugh, for Krispy Kreme! Virtually any other local doughnut bakery would be better than those.
They're good, but they're not "standing in line for two hours" good.
It is fun to try and guess the location of these posts before that is revealed. I got this one right off.
