ENGLEWOOD, Fla. (WFLA) — A Florida man was arrested Tuesday for using a sledgehammer to steal over $800 from a laundromat.

The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office said around 10:45 on May 8 Michael Justin Rowe, 32, and Taylor Marie Farrell, 34, went into a laundromat. Pictures show Rowe was wearing an ape mask and holding a sledgehammer.

Rowe used the sledgehammer to smash a coin change machine, taking about $800 from it, deputies said.

Meanwhile in video not released by the sheriff’s office, Farrell can be heard yelling “We got to go. You’ve been in here too long,” to Rowe before the pair drove off in a blue Mercury Marquis.

Part of this goes on the owner of the laundromat. The cash machine should be emptied on a regular basis.

The thief must have done his homework, i.e. observing how often the cash wasn't taken out. 800 bucks of coins is a LOT of coins.

If I were the D.A. prosecuting this case, I'd demand that the perps be turned through the wringer and then hung out to dry!

Since the perp is a white guy, is wearing an ape mask a racial hate crime?

I like that headline, but this is my all time favourite:

Woman in sumo wrestler suit assaults ex-girlfriend who waved at man dressed as Snickers bar

The one on the right looks like Liz Cheney - does she have an alibi?

Aside note: in my little town it takes seventeen quarters to do a wash in our laundromat. I remember when it cost maybe two quarters.

We need to shout this. The tide is turning. One shouldn’t cheer this activity. Time for bold action. Time for a new era. No pain, no gain.

That should do it.

I always were an ape mask when I go to a laundromat. Carrying the sledge hammer is a wonderful idea.

When she told him, "we gotta Bounce", she was referring to their laundry, your honor.

Because people in a hurry don't say "We gotta Snuggle".

Snuggle

Shout. Shout. Get it all out. These are the stains we can do without so come on...

I thought we were supposed to wear a monkey mask now. They did not think that was funny at the bank yesterday.
