Here's a little something from one of my favorite internet sites, dumbcrooks.com....I think there may be a lesson in this one!
I am a police officer for the City of Olney, Illinois. Last year a pair of crooks broke into our local lumber company. One of the
crooks attempted to steal a table saw that was still packed in the shipping box and must have weighed over 60 pounds. He climbed up in the loft where it was stored, grabbed hold of it and then lifted it over a wooden rail and then down to his buddy.
The problem? He forgot to let go of the box and it was rather heavy. He plunged over the rail, landing on his head and died
shortly thereafter. His partner got sent up for burglary.
