I'm wearing hot jeans

Over the summer I purchased a pair of jeans from Plato's Closet. It's this store that buys and sells your used clothes. I was so excited because they were Seven Jeans for about 75% off and they fit me just right except for, being the shorty that I am, they were to long. Sadly they've been sitting in my dresser until about two weeks ago when I finally got them hemmed. I think they took about 3-4 inches off.

Well today I put them on and I noticed a hole on the outside hem of the jeans about 2 inches up. At first I was upset for not noticing such a defect when I purchased them but then I thought, "oh well, it's not that big of a hole and it's kind of the style anyway to have rips and tears in your clothes. I bought them from a used clothing store for 75% off the retail price I guess I'm getting what I paid for. Besides, even if I could return them it's been over 3 months, I don't know where the receipt or the tags are so they wont take them back."

But then I thought a little bit more and I am convinced that someone stole these jeans, cut out the sensor tag and sold them to Plato's Closet! Then I come along and buy them. ME! I buy them. I, who used to work stopping shoplifters. I just benefited from someone stealing jeans that were probably stolen from the store that I used to work at (it's right across the street from Plato's Closet) and maybe even while I was working (Seven Jeans are a hot item, they are very often missing from the inventory and I used to put the sensor tag right where the hole is)!

I can't believe I bought a pair of jeans that was most likely stolen.
