Some idiot stole our box

[Nzoner]

So our company was doing a promotion for our 18th Anniversary in which we set entry boxes up in 18 local businesses for consumers to cut forms out of our publication and take to the boxes for a chance to win an $18 GC to that business and then a chance to win either $1000,$500 or $300 after all entries from all boxes had been combined.

So the mrs and I stop in at one of our tanning clients to do their drawing and get their box and it's gone.Come to find out some idiot had walked in yesterday and used our company name yadda yadda and walked out with the box of entries.

Funny thing,this client has video cameras in his front reception area and we got the guy on video so we're getting a copy tomorrow to take to the news.We also filed a police report etc. and local tv is reporting tonight that if anyone calls you saying you've won $1000 or other from our company it's a hoax.

Can't wait to see how this one turns out but we've had to postpone our drawing until we find out because it's simply not fair to those consumers who registered at that particular business.

So here we are trying to help with some spare cash in this economy and some idiot steals a box full of names and phone #'s. :shake:

I fail to to see the point of him stealing the box. It doesn't make any sense. How does it benefit him at all?

[chasedude]

when you find the guy make him stand if front of the business with a sign that says "I'm an Idiot"

I thought this might be a Hobo Housing crisis type of story.

..but this was a good story, too.

We've been wondering the same thing,possibly a competitor thinking it would somehow make us look bad :shrug:

The only thing I can think of is he might be looking to use the name/numbers in some sort of phishing scam?

Skip Towne what are you doing at Tanning Salons in St. Joe?

Maybe it's a stupid person who thinks that he'll be more likely to win the $1,000 if he has a box full of tickets.

Seriously.

Skip Towne what are you doing at Tanning Salons in St. Joe?

Getting a massage?

Some people steal shit just for the sake of stealing it.

[Buzzsaw]

Those handwritten leads go for $5 each. People don't remember what they signed up for so those are gold for anyone working in phone sales/telemarketing.
