Former WVU Baseball Player Arrested For Stealing Bed Sheets and Clif Bars From Target, Tells Cops He's Sorry But "Shoplifting Was On My Bucket List"

TSG –  Tony Strasiser just wanted to steal something from Target.

The 23-year-old Pennsylvania native was arrested yesterday after trying to boost bed sheets and Clif bars from a Target in Clearwater, Florida, according to an arrest affidavit.

Strasiser, cops say, hid the merch in a reusable grocery bag and departed the store. But when he was subsequently confronted by a loss prevention officer, Strasiser dropped the stolen goods at the store’s entrance and fled on foot.

Strasiser later returned to Target and apologized for his actions. He reportedly told a Clearwater Police Department officer that he “shoplifted as a thing for his ‘bucket list.'”

The theft, he added, was a “lapse of good judgment.”

Normal Bucket List:

1) Be a high school football star. (Check)

2) Play D1 baseball.   (Check)

The 6’ 6” Strasiser was a high school football and baseball star who attended West Virginia University, where he played on the school’s baseball team in 2015. Strasiser, a biology major, graduated last year from WVU.

3) See the Grand Canyon.

4) Sky dive.

5) Run with the bulls.

6) Make love to a beautiful woman beneath the Aurora Borealis.

Tony Strasiser Bucket List:

1) Steal a vintage wash solid sheet set and a couple white chocolate macadamia nut Clif Bars from Target.

I mean it’s not the worst haul in the world.  Those Target percale-cotton sheets have a flat, tight weave that makes the fabric cool, crisp & breathable and feature soft, combed cotton with a matte finish.   And Clif Bars are the perfect on-the-go bite to eat when you’re working too hard to stop for lunch, not to mention the nutrition for the sustained energy a young man needs.   If you’ve always been dying to sneak out of somewhere with stolen merchandise, you could do a lot worse is all.

And, best part, he’s only 23!  Already scratched the top item of his bucket list off.  So much life left and a major goal already fulfilled, good for him.
