Super-villain strikes at a Hamptons charity designer fashion sale

A less shocking charitable crime than the last one, but while we're on the theme here's the latest on how the economic downturn has made even the Hamptons a bit declasse--and, like the Depression before it, is giving rise to a new generation of vigilante heroes:

We heard this from someone working at Super Saturday in the Hamptons this weekend - for the uninitiated, that's the giant designer sample sale with $1,000 tickets and all proceeds going to ovarian cancer research - and this is what they said:

"I was at [a designer jean]'s booth, and at the end of the sale, you bring whatever you haven't sold to the charity drop-off and it's given away. So we had about twenty pairs of jeans left - we sold, like, three hundred - and we packed them up and got ready to walk them over to the charity drop-off, on the other side of the field, and this guy with a SUPER SATURDAY VOLUNTEER t-shirt comes up and he's like, "You don't have to do that, I'll take care of it."

Our intern got a little suspicious, so she followed the guy - and he stuck the 20 pairs of jeans in his own car and drove off! She didn't say anything - I guess she should have - but we're gonna be scouring eBay, and if those jean styles come up next week in bulk, we're gonna try and bust him."
