Guy Steals Girl Scout Cookie Money

$300 worth. Don't worry, he had a good reason...

Cody Phillip Gintz is his name, taking cash from Girl Scout cookie sales is his game. Well, actually doing heroin is his real game, but stealing money from 10-year old girls is how he tried to keep paying for it.

He swiped the cash box the girls were using to store money from their cookie sales outside a "Safeway" convenience store in San Jose, CA on Sunday.

He pocketed the cash from the stolen box and tossed the box in a nearby creek -- which officers recovered when they tracked down Gintz. He humbly handed all the money over to officers when he was nabbed a short time after his crime.

The good news is, the troop made another $240 after Gintz's arrest, as responding officers bought the rest their cookies and threw in another $60 just for good measure!
