One of my favs is the one where the thieves cleaned out the company HQ. They came in on a weekend, in the middle of the night, so they could take their time. Took everything that wasn't nailed down, or too heavy to carry.

Even smashed the glass on the vending machines and stole all of the money out of them, along with the snacks ...... Except....

They left the packages of the mini powdered sugar donuts for the cops.

Even as I was walking around the building and airing out every 4-letter word that I could think of to describe the perps....I had to admit that the touch had penache.

FWIW, the way the idiots got caught is they sold the laptops at an electronics swap meet. The suckers they sold them to started to call the manufacturer for help. Of course, the first thing that we did after the break-in was notify the manufacturer to stay on the lookout for laptop #QZ3342P (or whatever).

Once the manufacturer notified us, it was pretty simple for the cops to run down the criminals. Apparently, it was a quite a ring of them, they'd hit a number of local businesses. Good riddance.
