The Chronicles of The Socal Style Ninja Boy
(Socal Style was robbed on Sunday February 17th, help us catch the bad man. - $1500 reward)- Videos coming later.
So quick overview, my store (Socal Style, 7634 S Union Park Avenue, Midvale UT 84020) was robbed on Sunday February 17th around between 2 and 3ish in the morning. We have a limited amount of video and still images that were captured before he cut the cameras and power which I will be posting on here. Luckily, he didn't take TOO much (we will be open again Tuesday and the large large majority of our inventory is still there so no worries), but nonetheless I am creating this webpage to help catch this dude, as he won't stop until he gets caught and judging on his professional entry and camera/alarm disabling skills, this is not his first time. Help me catch him and I will give you a $1500 reward (the person or persons with the most evidence contributing to ninja boys capture will have it split up according to my good, (at least intentioned), judgement. I dont want any witch hunt antics either so please dont call or email me saying that, "You think it was your neighbor Steve becaue Steve likes to wear Joes Jeans and the robber took a bunch of Joes jeans." I am going to tell you exactly how he got in, what he took, and show pictures of everything I can. Obviously the alarm system/camera system/secret defense mechanisms have been upgraded nowthanks to ninja boy so don't try the same manuvers again. Oh and tell you how I hope to catch him, more on that as we go. Also, it is currently 5:53 AM in the morning on the 19th, I haven't slept because I am my store hoping that he was going to come back for round two, so if I am rambling, say something offensive, don't make any sense, or am composing giant run on sentences that are difficult to read, my apologies in advance.The important stuff is near the bottom by the way, in case you dont have patience/time to read the full version (dont blame you.)
| So anyways, how he got in was, he popped out a lower glass pane window that makes up the window display on the side of the store. Yes, popped it out, I didnt know you could pop a window out without breaking it either. When the glass guy came he said "oh ya this guy was a glass man" right away. (sounded quite proud of his boy too may I add.) But he went on to explain that you can just pop out those little pane windows and there is no building in the state that is not protected blah blah, and also said that it would be difficult for someone who hadn't worked with windows or glass to be able to pop it out without breaking it. Anyways, he was able to slip through a small crack between the window displays and the store and you can see him doing so on the video and below pictures. After his impressive ninja entry, he begins crawling to the dressing room (he knew exactly where he was going and it is obvious he had been in the store before.) | ||

| So as he begins to crawl to the dressing room with his flashlight in hand, he does some strange turn around and then back up into the dressing room move (Your guess is as good as mine). He then stacks the two sitting stool things in the dressing room and tries to hop over the wall. But either lacks the ninja skills to climb over the dressing room walls, or realizes that even if he does make it over the dressing room walls, hes going to be on camera anyway, so why waste time trying to climb over the walls).Now up until this point in the survelliance video the first time I watched it (thought he was going to jump the walls gracefully), I was thinking to myself, "damn, well I got robbed, but this guy has skills I have to hand it to him." Unfortunately, Ninja boy used all his good ninja moves upon entering the store, and then left us with a fairly lame last three quarters. Once he surrenders to the wall, he crawls out of the dressing room. Ok, important clue I think, it may sound a little weird to say it, but you probably noticed it as everyone who watched the video has so far, the guy has clown shoes. I don't know if it is that he has huge feet, but the way they are on his body just doesen't look normal if that makes sense. Also judging from when he stands up at the end of the video, I am pretty sure he is at least as tall if not taller than I am (I'm just barely 6'2"), and I think the height + his clown shoes definitely set him apart from your average robber and narrow down the potential suspects. | ||

After he crawls out of dressing room and along the back wall he looks up at the other camera that is above the back room door, freezes in panic, backpedals for a second, then decides to stand up and sprint. He looks up at the camera about 3 times during the process not that it does us a whole lot of good, but it obviously made him freeze in panic, so I'm not quite sure why he kept looking at it. His professors at ninja school definitely let him down, or maybe he missed that lecture.

| Here we get a look at his creepy beady little eyes (i dont even know what beady means, or how to spell it, but it seemed fitting) - Heres the part where he really LOOKS like a ninja of somesort (Shredder or foot clan from teenage mutant ninja turtles, or maybe sub zero or scorpion from mortal kombat, dont pretend you don't know about the ninja turtles, and haven't, even as an adult, gotten into a verbal disagreement about who the best ninja turtle is). (Leonardo, for the record.) Sorry about the detour, back to the track, when he stand up he appears to be taller than me and thats judging on seeing myself and others on the camera that is in a fixed position walk into the back room. | ||

See the resemblence? So, anyways,when he got into the back, he ripped the alarm off of the wall and cut the wires, found the hidden (somewhat hidden) alarm backup battery, flipped the circuit breakers, cut the cameras, luckily left the recording unit itself so that I could at the very least get a good laugh out of his Ninja antics. He then proceeded to fill trash bags up with mostly mens designer jeans. My point in all of this is he had a very specific objective (steal mens + womens but mostly mens, designer jeans), and I guarantee this is neither his first or his last time doing this (until we catch him, I say we, because judging by the fact that the police booked not one thing that they found Monday morning as evidence and were convinced that he did not come through the window pane he popped out that was lying outside int the snow, and that I had left the back door wide open and unlocked on Saturday night because I love getting robbed and was really hoping someone would rob me, and he walked in the unlocked back door as his point of entry because I really wanted to be robbed oh so badly plz plz someone rob me,) that I don't see them being a huge help in solving this crime. - Update - Even after I had told the police that I had VIDEO and PICTURES of the guys entry through the window that he popped out and had left sitting FULLY INTACT OUTSIDE IN THE SNOW, the cops insisted that "Someone left the back door open when they left on Saturday." That "Someone" who left on Saturday was me, I was with my friend Nick when I left so he can verify the fact that even after I leave I pull on the door several times JUST TO MAKE SURE it is locked because I am paranoid. THE SANDY CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT tried to blame this on me, why? I HAVE NO IDEA. Maybe they dont like the idea of criminals being able to pop out the windows to any building they please to rob them, (or the idea of actual semi intelligent criminals loose inside of their city) - and I DONT EITHER, but why the HELL would you try to act like it doesen't happen and ignore the problem? If I had left the back door open, I am fairly certain that my insurance company would try to screw me and not give me any money because I left the back door to the store open. Nice try Sandy City police.

IMPORTANT PART!
Here is where I need your help. The guy took mainly mens designer jeans. Specifically, Antik Denim, Diesel, Joes Jeans, Chip and Pepper, 1921, and True Religion Jeans.. Now since he took entire size runs, he obviously is going to sell them as he isn't going to wear 8 different sizes of a style of
jeans. That leaves us with 3 or 4 ways he can dump his merchandise.
A) The old creepy/shady guy in the grocery store parking lot offering to sell you stuff you dont need, but is at such a low price you are pretty sure it is stolen, but dont want to admit that to yourself so you convince yourself to believe whatever b.s. swiss cheese story he is feeding you (translation, guy in
parking lot coming up to you asking if you want to buy some designer jeans at a low price).
B) A "Jeans party" or whatever equally lame term you'd like to attach to the social gathering event where there is generally counterfeit and/or stolen jeans sold by some chick that is well liked and "too cute to do something like sell counterfeit jeans, but in all actuality probably believes the jeans that she is
buying are real because wang chung who can barey speak english and is selling them to her, knows someone who works for true religion and is able to get the jeans for much lower than honest dealers can pay at wholesale cost, but really she is just far too naive to understand how many bad people there are out there. (and that Wang Chung whom she probably only communicates with through email, and oh my gosh hes just so nice he cant be a bad man, probably has an army of little slaves at his factory sewing the counterfeit jeans). That was a whole other rant but it's been a long time in the making, and back to the moral, jeans parties w/ merchandise from well known designer brands are maybe 5% legit, 85% counterfeit, with the 10% authentic merchandise but 5 finger discount, wildcard thrown in. (IF IT SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT IS!)
C) May try to sell them to another store, likely a pawnshop or discount type clothing store.
D) Online
So I am going to post some pictures of the styles that were wiped out,of which that I am pretty sure no other dealer in utah carries (of that brand/style/colorway.) In case I pass out before I am able to upload the pictures today as I have been ranting a good hour now and people are now going to work today (Tuesday), and I still haven't slept, the main one that should be a dead give away were Antik Denim mens jeans darker / maybe black denim, with a red stitching on the back pockets. (There were like probably 12 pairs of jeans in that one specific style taken).
If you are thinking, what if Ninja boy reads this and decides to destroy and or hide his merchandise, well then we probably wouldn't have to worry about him going around robbing people because it would have scared him straight, so I still lose, but at least it was for a good cause. With that said however, it is
my firm belief that all people who posses the mentality to do something that dishonest and somehow justify it in their own head as ok, will continue going until they get captured and do not posess the discipline to do something like destroy the merchandise they just risked their neck to steal.
PLEASE, if you hear anything suspicious or leaves you thinking "could have been the dude that robbed that store", that is worth mentioning give me a call on my cell phone, (if you have the number), or send me an email to jasonayre@gmail.com with your phone number as well as what the call is about and, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Like I said, $1500 reward for any information that leads to the capture of ninja boy. ($1500 total, for example if it takes two good tips to catch him ill split it up amongst the two tippers.) I'm hoping that someone knows exactly who it is, and will decide to do the right thing and which is to sell Ninja Boy out for $1500.
NO "HONOR AMONG THIEVES" EVERLASTS, IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL THE THIEVES WHICH YOU PROTECT GET GREEDY AND COME AFTER YOU. Do the right thing, and sell him out, and you will be rewarded for it. Also, even if Ninja boy had accomplices, I invite you the accomplices to sell him out. I have one person on camera, as far as I am concerned there was one person in the store. I figure he probably had someone else with him, but if you are that person reading this if you come forward and turn him in, I won't even try to press charges against you. (Unless it is someone else who tips me off about Ninja boy and his accomplices, in which case you were unwilling to make the gesture of good faith and I will at that point I will press charges against you too as well.) So, sell your "friend" out before someone sells the lot of you out, and I will focus on the only person whom I have good solid evidence against. (Ninja boy).
Thanks everyone in advance for your support and concern -
Jason and everyone at Socal Style
