They must've learned the ol' misdirection game from Bruce Ratner's "Jobs, Housing & Hoops" scam.
Check-Out Fake-Out
A pair of crooks stole a 23-year-old woman’s wallet while she tried to work the self-check-out machine at the Atlantic Center Pathmark around 5:45 p.m. on Sept. 9, police said. The woman told cops she placed her wallet down to check out her groceries when one person distracted her and another grabbed her wallet. Her wallet held $20 in cash, as well as a Capital One card, a TD Bank debit card and an American Express card, according to cops.
The woman canceled her cards before any unauthorized purchases could be made, police said.
