A week after a woman fell down a manhole in a South Texas Wal-Mart, a fellow decided to steal a television from one of the bargain retail giant's Northeast Austin shops last night.

According to video surveillance footage, the suspect attempted to cart the television out of the store at around 8pm, when he was confronted by a 67-year-old employee asking to check the sales receipt. The suspect, approximately in his twenties, responded by swinging the box at the unlucky sexagenarian and driving off in his SUV.

Those with any leads are asked to call (512) 472-8477.
