MARYLAND — Flash mobs have been growing in popularity ever since the introduction of social media sites like Myspace and Facebook. Technologies like BBM and texting also make it easier than ever to gather your own flash mob and wield its power for any reason, like to steal candy bars from a 7-Eleven.

That’s what a flash mob of over two dozen teenagers did in Germantown last weekend. The store’s security cameras captured waves of teens entering the store all at once. They grabbed snacks, drinks, and other merchandise and then left without paying for any of it.

Nobody was hurt during the raid, but a Twix bar was broken completely in half. Both pieces.

If you didn’t know the story before watching the video above, you might not even see anything abnormal. Just know that every person that can be seen on camera (except for the cashier) is a thief.

The police have identified several teens in the video, but still don’t know how the mob was organized.

Flash mobs are no longer being used to put on dance shows in mall food courts, but it makes sense. Why spend all that time and hard work gathering a huge crowd of minions only to make them DANCE? Surely there are some jewelry stores and banks in desperate need of a flash mob stick-up.

The 7-Eleven heist was just practice for that flash mob. Next time, they’ll all have guns.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Al-Qaeda was training an all-toddler flash mob to carry little bombs.
