Lighter Side of Crime Thieves With Odd Behaviour
A mishmash of quirky thieves appears in reports from New York Sydney London and Kansas City. Gunslingers in a bar staged a tap dance after looting a register while customers ordered drinks. A Sydney thief stole a woman’s bag containing a dead pet. A London burglar aimed tacks on a floor as a trade mark, while another stole jewelry insured for eight thousand dollars and was caught by a hidden bracelet. A Paris-count compliment convinced a matron her jewels were real. A doctor’s car yielded dismal loot of heart beat discs. A Virginia attendant’s phone call led to a fake threat to secure funds. A French inventor’s melting steel trick earned leniency but no patent. A Kansas City bandit justified robbery to cover a bad cheque.
