Hey, kids, it's always best to keep quiet about your theft proceeds

A couple guys went to school and started showing off their stolen cash. "There was one student who was flashing around $2,600 cash," says the sheriff. Another student had brought about $10,000 to school, some of which he had stuffed in his pants pockets, the other part stashed in his locker. (Joplin Globe)

I know a place where they can spend it! Take it to your local Wal-Mart, they have all sorts of stuff you can buy.

Repressed guilt, like water, follows the path of least resistance.
Thus endeth the lesson.

Ah, and once again, the unbridled propensity of youthful boasting once again brings the downfall of newbie criminals. Sweet.

"Unbridled propensity of youthful boasting." That's a neat turn of phrase, LGL.

Ah, stupid criminals. They never cease to amaze me how the stupidity brings them down, even though it is predictable. Lesson One when you commit the crime: shut the f**k up. Don't brag about it. Don't tell others about, and if you have money, don't go flashing it all over the place. If you need a visual, recall the scene in the film "Good Fellas" after the Lufthansa heist.
