A Pennsylvania man was convicted of slithering around theater floors and stealing moviegoers' wallets and purses.
Anthony Johnson, 49, may have taken as much as $70,000 per week, according to authorities. Along with his accomplices, Johnson used the stolen credit cards and IDs to secure cash advances at local casinos. They also purchased thousands of dollars worth of goods from area retailers.

An accomplice testified against Johnson and detailed how the thefts occurred. Because the crimes necessitated purses on the floor, Johnson and a female accomplice would often buy tickets to female-oriented films like "Eat, Pray, Love" and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." The pair sat in seats that allowed them a clear view of where the female patrons stored their handbags.

According to courtroom testimony, once the lights went down and the movie started, "Johnson crawled on the floor, removed credit cards from the stored purses, and returned the wallet to the purses." Johnson would then buy things like gift cards, iPods, and sunglasses and sell them at discounted prices. Johnson had equipment that he used to make fake IDs to match the credit cards.

Now the jig is up. Johnson will be sentenced on January 14. He faces up to 10 years in prison on each of the seven charges of stealing credit cards. He also faces additional years behind bars due to his identity theft convictions. Perhaps the toughest punishment of all--the memories of watching "Eat, Pray, Love" who knows how many times.

Good job, now people will know exactly how to do a new scam... Itll be at least months before people catch on
 
Is cash advancing at casinos that easy? Was there more than a few people involved? It would seem a casino would recognize repeat visitors on cash advances, something that doesn't happen that often. Even so, I guess that is one advanced fake ID maker, since now they scan them and even use the Drivers License # for verifirication.... it almost seems like someone at the MVD or casino was in on it too
 
How do you not notice that?

Focused on the screen...loud speakers. Who thinks to check their peripheral when they're watching a movie?

This is why you should always put your purse and whatever else on the seat next to you if possible.
 
i almost lost my phone twice in the movies one time it fell out and i never knew til i got a text
now i be EXTRA paranoid with my pockets i check em like every 30mins when im at the theaters :lol:

With the theatres I've been in, there is very little leg room and it's not even totally pitch black.

It shouldn't be hard to notice someone at your feet snaggin your ****.

I'd think they'd just work the isles. Maybe grab under the seat in front of them. No idea how they'd pull it off crawling in front of people.

I was thinking ... Just sit in the way back, and when you're walking down on the side just grab **** from the people in the aisle seats ...

don't know about cash advances, but alot of small casinos offer what they call charge chips. You just go into the casino use your credit card to buy chips like you're buying electronics at a store. This way you won't be charged with a fee.

That's how I would do it...dude's have balls if they're actually crawling around tickling people's toes.

I'm like that all the time. I check my pocket multiple times to make sure my phone, wallet, or keys didn't fall out of my pocket. When I get up to leave the theatre, I always check.

Weird how none of these women noticed someone opening up their purses, taking out their wallets, and putting the wallets back :lol:. If I sense any type of movement near me I always check it out.
