Tony laughed heartily at the clap on the back, wobbling forward a bit, but keeping his balance. He looked at his new partner in crime and nodded. He thought it was a great idea, too, so he was glad Luke agreed.
About to walk toward the shop, he stopped when Luke pointed out the motorcycle they would be riding.
"I'm supposed to ride on that thing with you? What's with kids today. Why not invest in a sensible vehicle?" He sighed, but he was a man who tended to walk everywhere, convenient or not. He moved over to the bike, inspecting it, and at least seemed to not hate it. It was just the thought of having to ride on it that bothered him.
Quickly, he gave the other directions to the store. It wasn't too far, but walking certainly would have taken longer than either would have liked.

Okay, so Luke learned, riding with two guys on the motorcycle wasn't the brightest idea he had. Actually, he would honestly admit it. A male wasn't his preferred companion on a ride. But the two men had a goal in mind and two males on a motorcycle wasn't about to deter them.
In a short time, only the empty street would witness the blond teenager and the drunk librarian unlocking the toystore doors. (They didn't even have a proper alarm system. But with toys like these, who would have expected it? It wasn't ipods and mechanical cars.)
Luke's choice of stolen objects would be a row singled out, every other ken doll from the barbie set missing. And a stunning array of naked barbies lined up throughout the store. It would seem that the divorced Ken would get more than his fair share of clothes that might fit his ladyloves much better than it'd fit Barbie. Barbie deserved it. A woman should leave a man his fair share in the relationship-- it was a well-known fact that Barbie had stolen everything in the divorce. Including the dog. It had been a heartbreaking fact for the male population of the world indeed. The dog was a man's best friend.
Luke simply made the deed right. Justice for every Ken doll in the world.
EDIT: HE STOLE CARS FOR KEN TOO.

Tony, on the other hand, wasn't much for playing with dolls. In his day, he hadn't been much for toys at all, after growing out of action figures and the need to keep himself entertained. Once he had hit school and had been able to make friends he had switch right to that. But that didn't mean they didn't have some gadgets to keep them entertained.
One thing he remembered being particularly cool in those days, amongst his particular group of friends? Yo-yos. And apparently they were making a comeback, or had made a comeback and gone out again, because Tony distinctly remembered some kids from time to time having them in the library.
Well, now all the yo-yos this store had to offer were now his. Not the best kinds, just a small selection to keep young boys entertained, but it didn't matter. Now they all belonged to Tony.
It was a rather fast and precise job, all told, for a kid and a drunk guy. They did what they came to do, and would leave the store owners baffled. Tony got a ride back to his neighborhood, bag of yo-yos in tow, before bidding Luke goodnight and stumbling up to his apartment.
Come morning, he was going to have to wonder why he had a bag full of tangled yo-yos on his bed with him.
