A Florida man has been arrested after he posed as a Disney World employee and stole a $10,000 replica of the iconic Star Wars character R2-D2.
ABC’s Central Florida affiliate WFTV reports David Emerson Proudfoot, 44, of Kissimmee, was arrested on May 31 after he snatched the droid from Disney World’s Swan Hotel in an attempt to get hired as a security guard at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando.
According to police, Proudfoot was seen by hotel security pushing a cart on the property while wearing an orange work vest and a Disney World name tag. Security guards, who suspected something suspicious was taking place, subsequently escorted Proudfoot to the Yacht Club Resort to retrieve his belongings and driver’s license from the employee lockers, at which point Disney officials called law enforcement.

So this genius figured he could get hired as a security guard by demonstrating how slack security was, but instead gets busted by security?

He forgot to say, “This is not the fake security guard you are looking for.”

“Florida Man Arrested After Posing as Disney World Employee...”
Process of elimination - he was the only ‘employee’ who they couldn’t find on the Groomer-Central site.

The guy doesnt qualify as a true StarWars fan if he didnt see the original in 1977 as a kid. Proudfoot? This cat a Hobbit or what?

One of the most brazen thefts I’ve ever seen was at a company I worked for in the ‘80s right out of school. Two men pulled up to the lobby in a van and went inside. They told the receptionist that they were their to “pick up the computers for repair”. The receptionist let them in and the two men proceeded to remove computers from the employees desks — some while being used — all in the middle of the day. By the time they left in their van, the men had taken over forty computers.
I would shake those guys’ hands if I ever met them. The audacity of this move was inspiring…

If Disney is claiming the R2D2 is worth $10,000, its probably worth $500 anywhere else.
