SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Free Comic Book Day always features heroes and villains, but a shop in California featured a trio of costumed criminals who contributed to the cause rather than carried out further crimes.
FOX 13 News sister station KTXL FOX 40 in Sacramento reports that three teen thieves who stole a comic book store’s well-known “Flintmobile” were eventually caught after footage of the crime surfaced.
Rather than seek charges, the owner of the shop asked the teens be made to work for him from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on his busiest day of the year: Free Comic Book Day. The three donned costumes to match the car they’d taken, and Fred, Barney and Wilma spent the day dancing and cheering in order to attract customers to the store.
