"I'm trying to think of the most expensive thing in Burlington," Allen Morris said.

"Your coats are maybe, at the highest, a hundred and some dollars, and how did they walk out with security and alarms going off and everything?" Theresa Hudson said.

Police say the suspects left the store, bags in hand -- doing their best to set a bad example this holiday season.

"It's not about taking. It's about giving," Morris said.
