Teal + Pink = Time In The Clink September 10, 2009 1:25 PM | permalink

Seth Joiner of Fort Pierce, FL (pictured) turns 32 years young today.

Unfortunately, we're not writing this to wish him a happy birthday.

Which is too bad, as there is little chance he's actually having one.

Joiner entered a CVS Pharmacy on Tuesday, put on a mask to conceal his identity, and brandished a knife at a pharmacist, demanding oxycodone pills, according to police. Then he made his crucial mistake, allegedly making his escape in a teal Honda with a hot pink "Salt Life" bumper sticker (Salt Life is a popular watersport shop). These colorful details were included in a news release and a tipster, recognizing the vehicle, called police, leading to Joiner's arrest. It turns out that "hot pink on teal" doesn't exactly scream "discrete getaway car."

 Interestingly enough, we found this on the Salt Life website:

Six years ago, during a spear fishing trip, the concept for Salt Life took form and the company was founded in Florida just blocks from the ocean's edge in Jacksonville Beach. Today our signature Salt Life logo is one of the most recognizable symbols on any beach. 

As an officer on the scene commented "I guess marketing is everything."

If someone out there wants to get Mr. Joiner a birthday present, he can be reached at the St. Lucie County Jail.

Here's a couple of gift ideas.
