Man Steals $55,000 From Parx Casino, Promptly Returns it


A man stole $55,000 in blackjack chips from Parx Tuesday afternoon, before turning himself in shame-faced just a couple hours later. Likely after realizing that sitting at home with a bunch of chips doesn’t buy you much. And that trying to cash them in at a facility wired with surveillance cameras isn’t going to do much good either. For a casino that markets itself to the suburban dad crowd, this sort of goofy, not-quite-glamorous heist seems right up Parx’s alley. [Philly.com]
