The owner of a Metro PCS store says he has learned that 32 Metro PCS stores in South Florida were victimized by looters as Hurricane Irma was bearing down on the area.

Sam Brejt tells CBS4’s Peter D’Oench in an exclusive interview that looters struck his store at 254 N.W. 36th St. sometime between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Sunday, September 10th. Brejt says the criminals drove their truck through the front glass door, causing $10,000 worth of damage just to the door itself.

Ha, I was reading your “headline” the third time and unable to process it before noticing the second line.

The reporter says some items were stolen after the looters left. Uh, hmm, ok...

LOL.

I just got 18 large eggs at the local Kroger for 69 cents.

I do like the frozen pierogies and the rice (2 lbs.) at Dollar Tree.

We no gots Krogers here.

Just Publix [expensive], Winn-Dixie [only less so], Piggly-Wiggly [no variety] and WalMart [always crowded, I call it Little Mexico]................

Yeah our Dollar Trees does too. But the 99 cent stores here have a huge freezer and refrigerated section, large fresh vegetable section, and a lot of canned goods. They’re like a mini market in the store. You can actually eat pretty well out of them. I buy a lot of canned goods and fresh veggies there.
What they carry actually makes the Dollar Trees look sad. That’s why I said you can actually eat out of them. Real food.
