Gift Card Balance: $0
The person below admits to stealing gift cards from stores and believing they already had money on them. And the Smartest Award goes to … anyway, chances are this person was a young whippersnapper who had no clue that you had to actively put money on gift cards. And since these cards were empty, did he really hurt anyone? Are we being too easy on people?
We can see the confusion if you’re young and you don’t know better. What? You mean these cards don’t magically produce a cash value? Everything is a lie! Also, if gift cards automatically came with money on them, more people would be trying to steal them. Then, they wouldn’t be out on display like they are in various stores.
