    Ha ha ha. I see what they did there...

    Edit: I am constantly amazed by idiot thieves who think that no one will notice or that they won't be caught for such brazen, out-in-the-open crimes.

    This is actually fairly common with meter maids too which is one of the reasons so many parking meters have been switched over to credit card systems

    Most criminals just really aren't that smart, and the ones who could be smart enough to get away with it like a drug kingpin are just far to greedy. Just think about all the guys that made millions or 100s of millions running cartels who just couldn't walk away and eventually got caught.

    Stupidity and greed and honesty the greatest tools law enforcement has working in their favor

    They say he did this on a day when he came in when he wasn't scheduled to work.

    No one noticed him being there on his day off?
    How did he manage to bring in that many beads?
    If he stole the coins the same day he would have had to have used a forklift and a large truck to haul them away. No one noticed?
    If he stole them over a extended period, why did no one notice four extra bags of "coins" sitting around for a long time.
    If he stole them over an extended period, did no one notice short bags?

    Something in their description of the crime just isn't adding up.

    Conder, go back and study the Brinks robbery of 1948 in Boston. A bunch of Boston toughies blew over the depository safe. It turns out that a child probably could have done it due to lax security procedures -- if they had any real security at all. Maybe things haven't changed much. And maybe, like too many companies, their employees just didn't care enough to notice anything.

    Considering the amount of bags they have at any given time it probably isn't very hard to stick one at the back of the pile here and there

    The Brinks worker had to have access to a forklift AND the place had to have been empty.

    I'm curious why there weren't any inquiries as to what was showing up on the security tapes such as "Say, why's Dennis in here using the Forklift and where's he taking that bag ofcoins?"

    Probably figured they wouldn't miss 5 tons of quarters.:confused:

    And at the rate those are getting into circulation, nobody would have noticed them missing for years. :)
