Great idea, IF you do not have a criminal mind.
Two guys committed a burglary of an eletronics store overnight. several dvds and smaller flat screen tvs were taken. thier cool idea was to hide the stolen loot in their trash cans overnight and retrieve it in the morning to sell to a fence(buys stolen property). in their haste and to celebrate their crime, the two drank beer and smoked pot, after the burglary at their apartment. they tapped out really big and slept till almost noon the next day.
These idiots had forgotten that the next day was trash pickup day in their neighborhood. their trash cans were in the alley on public property. we can only assume the trashmen had a big surprise for their family that day. the loot was taken, but not by the thieves, by someone unknown. trashmen denied it. thieves were videotaped, recognized and arrested. trashmen passed polygraph and searches of their homes.
Two of the worlds Dumbest Criminals.
