1979? I think? Big drinking era for moi. lol.
3 college girls go to Florida. Staying with Carol's grandmother. Get off the plane in Tampa drunk as skunks. lol.
First day it rains...no worries we'll go shopping! Get back to the room and the other two pull out designer clothing they 'bought'. Meanwhile back at home I'm the one with the high paying job so I'm paying far more bills, entertainment etc than the other two. I'm debating on buying a damned beach bag and these two are buying designer clothing. Uggh. I think...when we get home things are going to change!
Next day....rains. Go back to the mall. I'm gonna get that beach bag lol. I meet Carol and Karen at the entrance to Mas Brothers. Security grabs Carols arm...Karen grabs me and tells me to RUN!!! I'm running but have no idea why. Karen takes me into the bathroom and starts shoving clothing out of her bag into the trash. I'm like WTH???? Still no clue duh. She starts telling me that all the designer stuff from yesterday and today they STOLE. OMG!!!
Now what? We are not even 20 years old in the States and Carol is taken by security. I tell Karen we cannot leave her so I'm going back into the store. The security tells me she only wants to speak to me. I go in and ask her what's going on. She got caught stealing leather pants from the designer section $700 (in 1979!!) but really she went back to steal a $2 tshirt and that's when they caught her. I'm stunned!!!
So it's grand theft. They take her to jail. I get on a bus and get down to the jail. They let me see her and her bail bonds man. This is all new to me a) I've never been in legal trouble and b) we don't have bail bonds men in Canada.
The bail bondsman tells me she can get out if I post her bail. Umm ok. Where will I get that money? Carol says they can pawn the gold? What gold? MY GOLD!!!!! Ummm no. We also have to get someone who owns property in Sarasota County to sign for her. Lovely.
must bring in wood....will be back later to finish ! bbl
