New Jersey football players rewarded after paying for items at store with no clerk

These football players scored a touchdown without setting foot on the field.
Four members of the William Paterson University football team in New Jersey each scored $50 gift cards after surveillance cameras captured them at a Wayne store paying for batteries and sunglasses, even though no employees were around.
Buddy's Small Lots was actually closed Sunday night. But the lock malfunctioned and the lights were on, making it appear as though it was open.
Buddy's management got a call from police that there had been a break-in, but upon arrival, nothing was missing from the store, News 12 New Jersey reported.
Cameras showed the men calling an audible, shouting out for a clerk. Two can be seen depositing cash on the counter, one waving bills in the direction of a camera.
"Not only did they leave money on the counter, they counted out the change," store operations manager Marci Lederman told News 12 New Jersey.
Lederman went to the university personally to present the players with the gift cards and to thank them.
"I didn't think it was going to blow up to be this big," one of the players, Kell'e Gallimore, said.
His teammate, Thomas James, told the station that not everyone is a thief.
"You can't judge people by the way they look," he said.
The security issue at the store has since been fixed.

In a related story, an NCAA official has confiscated the gift cards in exchange for the players' eligibility to stay in tact!
God bless the NCAA!

While any news stories like this are welcome, and restore my faith in humanity just a bit...
It is a pretty sad state of affairs when this is news and these guys were invited on the Today Show to talk about what noble heroes they are for...not stealing.

They are just lucky the white store manager wasn't sleeping in the stockroom.
