Lift Up Upper Manager Caught Shop Lifting at Lift Up
Written by Dee Umpsterdivor Tuesday, 11 November 2008
Former director of Lift-Up, Shellout Buckstome is expected to be charged with a misdemeanor today after investigations revealed that she was stealing from her employer. Buckstome allegedly took 800 bags from Lift-Up over the course of six months. Stolen goods included two Grateful Dead t-shirts, a pair of Solomon rear-entry ski boots, scratched Bolle goggles, and a Songs of Pirate Theatre CD, which, only came to a total value of $14.52
A police reenactment photo of possible bags of loot lifted from Lift-Up in the Shellout Buckstone heist case in Routt County. It's probably pretty accurate.
"Because she didn't meet the monetary requirement, we cannot charge her with a felony," said a local Steamboat Police Department representative Buster Grabbin. "However, she will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law," said Grabbin.
The allegations have sparked another investigation at Rummagers, where Buckstome was employed as an accountant prior to accepting the position at Lift-Up. When asked for comment, Buckstome--who is currently applying for a job at Alpine Bank--replied, "Charity begins at home."

"So there we were, up onstage performing one of our skits from Cabaret, 'Moose on the Loose,' and then BAM! I hear this loud noise. And then I realize that all these people are staring at me as I'm lying on the ground, looking really scared. And then the pain hits me. Wow! Talk about a pain in the ass."
