A GOLD Coast man’s “stupid” act has resulted in a very expensive bag of Twisties.
Thomas Cummings stole a packet of the chips valued at $3.50 from the 7-Eleven convenience store at Surfers Paradise on January 15, the Southport Magistrates Court was told yesterday.
“It was just dumb, it was just stupid, a packet of chips,” Cummings, who self-represented, said.
“I went back and tried paying for it, but the same worker wasn’t on.”
Cummings pleaded guilty to shop stealing.
