Because they have lied in the past about what they were giving out as first place prizes. Went to a comp a couple years ago. Even early on Sunday morning, it said jackets would be given. I think when they opened up their boxes, they must have seen duffle bags were sent instead. So they updated their website and said duffle bags were the prize. So many crying kids from multiple gyms. They were really disappointed. Kids want jackets, not bags. I understand that in the grand scheme of things, this really isn't a big deal. But to those kids, it was a big deal.
And about these prizes that were "stolen." Who steals this? I can't even imagine how many boxes there were. And they were all stolen?? I don't buy it. And if they were brought inside the venue, there had to have been security cameras. The Rams used to play at this venue. And it has been almost 2 months and still no replacement. Not holding my breath.
The theft I can understand, it was probably tractor trailor or shipping container theft which happens quite often in the retail world. The sad part about cargo theft is it does take months to replace, especially imports. The mistake on the jackets and duffle bags....
