In the first picture, the person walking towards the counter appears to be looking right towards the guy as he's stuffing the thing in his pants!

the guy could be in on it, usually thieves make sure they have someone to watch their back, or at least cause a distraction at the counter

Judging by the looks of the guy, I'm betting he threw the putter down an empty well and made it put lotion on itself.

"I'd putt with me. Would you putt with me?"

LOL, I am at my desk at work and I started laughing out loud when I read this post, hilarious.

Apparently he didn't take the time to scope the camera situation before stealing.

Some follow up information on this case. The suspect has been identified by a Detective from an area Sheriff's Department (I have omitted the name and contact information of the Detective) and the Detective is looking for more information. :

It sounds like the dude was basically finding out the name of PGA pros, using their identity to play free golf, and then stealing from the pro shop.

Considering the size of WRX, it wouldn't surprise me if someone here had dealt with this guy. If you have, shoot me a PM and I'll send you the contact info for the Detective.

lol - super vigilant clerk at the counter - not. I wonder if he walked out of the shop with a limp, or held out for matching 9-irons and a driver too.
