Police say 38-year-old Thomas Tang of Baldwin stole more than 7,000 J.C. Penney Co. discount coupons he was supposed to deliver to the department store’s customers. Police say Tang then sold the coupons on eBay.
Tang was charged with grand larceny. He pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Friday and was ordered held on $5,000 cash bail.
His attorney was not immediately available for comment.
The alleged theft occurred between October 2009 and this January.
$5000 bail?! The coupons are probably worth more than that!
What an idiot he must be…putting them on eBay and not expecting to be caught. There is an electronic trail of where and to who the payments go to.
