It might be harder to get into heaven if you have to explain stealing baseball cards from Walmart. As a middle-aged man.
A 42-year-old man named Aidan Smith was arrested a couple weeks ago, just after leaving a Walmart. He had 27 packs of baseball cards hidden in his clothing. And apparently, he didn’t pay for them.
Aidan wasn’t just a baseball fan. He’s “the head priest and dean of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in downtown Pittsburgh.” (???)
And it wasn’t just a one-time sin. Walmart says that he had been inside that store FIVE STRAIGHT DAYS, and he was caught by their security cameras stealing baseball cards all five days. The stolen cards are valued at $1,100.
The Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh said they’re investigating the situation. One church official said, “I have spoken with Aidan and assured him of our prayers for him in this difficult time.”
It’s unclear what a priest would be doing with baseball cards. Maybe he was an avid collector?
