A pair of thieves pleaded for mercy in Colorado, claiming they should be given a lesser sentence because the more than $2,000 worth of items they stole from a local department store were on sale, according to a Tuesday statement from Colorado’s 18th Judicial District.

Fifty-year-old Michael Green and 37-year-old Byron Bolden, dubbed the “Kitchen-Aid Mixer Crew” by the staff of the Kohl’s they robbed, were arrested for stealing $2,094 worth of merchandise — including designer shoes and clothing as well as the high-end appliances that earned them their nickname, according to the 18th District’s statement.

In Colorado, theft of property with a value ranging between $2,000 and $5,000 is a Class 6 felony.

Sounds reasonable, as long as they paid taxes on the 5-finger discounts.

Unfllippin' believable that attorney's would even go there. Just goes to show you how low attorneys will stoop.

Okay just cut off four of the five fingers they used for the theft.
