I honestly don't know which is sadder, being so broke you gotta steal from a dollar store, or being the get away driver for a Dollar Tree heist. Around 2pm today at the Dollar Tree next to the Probation Dept in Visalia, these fellas were in such a hurry leaving that they forgot to pay for the merchandise.
