<\/a><\/p>\nThe man was arrested for grand theft, which is a third-degree felony, and taken to jail following the March 2 incident. The State Attorney\u2019s Office confirmed to WDWNT that no charges have been filed against him as of writing so we\u2019re not naming him.<\/p>\n
When we reached out to the man for comment to hear his side of the story, his mom said the man is mentally unwell and made a mistake.<\/p>\n
Two eyewitnesses saw the man stealing at Disney World\u2019s popular outdoor shopping and restaurant complex\u2019s West Side.<\/p>\n
A DisneyStyle store employee first noticed the man putting Disney trading pins inside his short\u2019s front pocket, the Orange County Sheriff\u2019s arrest report said.<\/p>\n
The store employee warned managers who got Disney Security involved. By then, the accused thief visited the Starbucks bathroom and then went into the Star Wars Galactic Outpost shop.<\/p>\n
A Disney Security officer who was on the alert saw the man put more trading pins in his shorts\u2019 pocket and then walk out of the store.<\/p>\n
After the man was confronted, authorities confiscated 50 different trading pins inside his backpack. The pins would have cost a Disney fan about $922 to purchase after tax, the arrest report said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The man admitted he took the pins, the arrest report said.<\/p>\n
Law enforcement has investigated several thefts in recent months, from the big to the small, like the Paddlefish scuba burglar<\/a> who stole thousands of dollars in cash to a woman who grabbed a radio<\/a> from Disney Security.\u00a0<\/p>\n For the latest Disney Parks news and info, follow WDW News Today<\/a> on\u00a0Twitter<\/a>,\u00a0Facebook<\/a>, and\u00a0Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n \t\t
