[su_right_ad]A babysitter in Pennsylvania took a child’s Christmas gift toy so he could collect the refund.

Police say Sean Ashelman, 24, stole a Mickey Mouse-themed table and chair set meant for young Conner Parsons while he was looking after him.

He is accused of sneaking upstairs while Conner’s mother was away, finding the receipt for the gift, then returning it to a Family Dollar store near their home in Watsontown, Pennsylvania.

According to local news channel WNEP-16, Ashelman has been charged with theft, and also forgery after giving a fake signature for the refund.

The man, a former family friend, is now jailed in Snyder County jail on a $25,000 bail after being arrested over the December 19 theft.[su_csky_ad]

    Shoulda stole $30billion. Then he’da paid the DOJ a small percentage, say $300million, and been on his way. Easy Peasy.

    The US Justice System loves The Rule of Law so much, they made two sets!

    Dam, christmas is TERRIBLE! Dogs eat their owners, kids shoot their parents,fathers shoot their sons, and little kids get their toys stolen.
    We need to declare War on Christmas.
