If Dad had got me these things in the first place I wouldn’t have had to steal his card.
- Tom Smith
I'm no wanker- I'm a DUMB@$$!!
Every now and then, I run across a DUMB@$$ whom I just want to slap silly. THIS is one of those times. Tom Smith ought to forced to do some hard time working in a homeless shelter or a soup kitchen. Perhaps then he'll discover that there is more to life than his own self-centered, self-absorbed, materialistic impulses.
A TEENAGER nicked his father’s credit card — and blew £12,000 in a FOUR-DAY splurge.
Tom Smith, 17, swiped it from a wallet while dad John was out jogging.
Then he legged it from his London home with the NatWest Mastercard and jetted from Stansted to Rome....
Tom spent his first night in the Italian capital slumming it at a three-star hotel.
Next day, he swaggered into VERSACE and spent £800 on trainers and silk trousers.
At GUCCI, staff demanded to see his passport. So Tom left — and blew £1,800 at nearby DOLCE & GABBANA on trainers, jeans, a T-shirt and underwear.
He paid £800 at PRADA for boots and trousers.
Tom returned to VERSACE and spent £1,100 on jewellery, belts, shoes and a T-shirt....
Then Tom blew £1,632 on a Louis VUITTON suitcase.
He said: “I needed something to put my clothes in.” He moved on to ARMANI and spent £163 on shades.
Next morning he spent £300 on a limo to show him Rome’s sights before heading home.
He booked another limo at Gatwick, picked up three pals in London, then travelled to Brighton — where they took two £250-a-night rooms at the four-star Thistle Hotel.
Next day Tom picked up an £860 Sony video camera. The same limo gave them a champagne ride home.
The card hit its limit on the way. But limo bosses, who had already taken £1,983, waived charges for the final half-hour.
Tom returned to face parents John and Megan, both 49, at their £1million house in Victoria Park on January 30....
John, a £100,000-a-year investment banker, branded his son “a little s**t.”
Duh, really?? That's all you've got to say about your spoiled, materialistic brat of a son? I'm sorry, but if young Master Smith had been my son, not only would he be getting a job to pay back EVERY penny, he would also be doing some serious volunteer work involving homeless shelters. It sounds as if someone needs to pull the silver spoon out of the mouth so he can WAKE UP AND SMELL THE CAT LITTER!!!
The truly sad thing about this is the The Sun is trumping up the story as if it's something to be proud of. I'm sorry, but Tom Smith is a self-absorbed hedonist who could sorely benefit from a cold slap of reality and perspective. Then again, I suppose the absence of said grip on reality and perspective is what makes him uniquely qualified to be our latest DUMB@$$, eh?
