Panthers fans steal recliner from 7-Eleven

Three people who are apparently big Carolina Panthers fans recently took such a liking to a Panthers-colored promotional recliner that they swiped it from a 7-Eleven as the clerk stood at the counter.

One of the three then came back to the counter while the chair was being loaded and bought a case of beer Bud Light, reported the Lancaster News.

The recliner is part of a Bud NFL promotion, and is upholstered in Panthers blue. It has Bud Light and NFL logos on it

It happened around 1:40 a.m. on Dec. 2 at the Indian Land 7-Eleven on Charlotte Highway, which is open 24 hours. The sheriff’s office is looking for help identifying the larceny suspects, two of whom can be seen clearly in the photos.

The Lancaster News reports a woman distracted employees at the counter while an accomplice walked to the back of the store and returned carrying the recliner. She held the door open for him as he carried it to a GMC Yukon waiting at the gas pumps and handed it off to another man, who put it in the back of the vehicle, reported the Lancaster News.

The woman then turned back to the counter, paid for a case of Bud Light and then left with the men in the Yukon, it was reported.

Social media commenters have marveled that the trio pulled it off so easily.

“How do you walk out with a chair and no one catches it?” said Dalton Miller.

“They sell chairs at 7-Eleven?” commented Julie Cooper Staub of Richmond, Virginia

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.
