Celebrity Justice
Marty Ingels Won't Be Charged With Hat Thievery

It looks like nothing will come of Marty Ingels and the Case of the Missing $500 Hat.

Ingels' rep tells TMZ the D.A. won't charge Shirley Jones' husband over the December incident at a Burbank hat store. TMZ obtained surveillance video showing Ingels take the hat, but he always maintained it was a misunderstanding. Apparently, the district attorney's office agreed.

The D.A.'s office was closed and could not be reached for comment.

10. Interesting. If you or I had a "misunderstanding" like this, our butts would be in jail. Ah, god bless money and fame!

11. I thought this guy had passed away a couple of years ago.....I think he's looking for publicity. You idiots a TMZ are happy to oblige him, while you're boring the hell out of us.

12. Screw you you lying old bastard- I watched the tape- You waited until
the clerk left and then you put the hats he gave to you on top of a
hat on the counter and stole it! You are a jackass. Your wife should
be embarrassed to be seen with you. You should be ashamed to be seen
with yourself. Dont bother shopping the reality show- you probably
wont be around that long.

14. Marty,
You don't deserve an apology. You got away with it, but that doesn't mean that you are innocent. Consider yourself lucky, and pay for your hats from now on, you old geezer. Did you ever get your cane back? It didn't look like you needed it as you practically ran from the store with your stolen hat. It is probably only a prop for an insurance scam anyway.
