A crook to inspire GMs

[Basil]

Because, let's face it, a really original and interesting crook is hard to think up.

That was yesterday, and the cops have no more idea now than they did then. :winkgrin:

Of course, if his escape plan had failed for whatever reason, then we would currently be chortling over his foolishness ("He tried to use an inner tube as a getaway vehicle? How sad is that?")

[JohnTaber]

Too funny. :)

[mattingly]

I forsee all police in the future as being equipped with an inner tube, snorkel, and hang glider -- just in case.

Seems The Inner Tube Thief had a more complex plan than originally thought.

Yes, Craigslist! Now that's what I call a plan! :thumbup:

Hello! I'm resurrecting this because the "inner tube robber" has just been convicted. Yes, I missed the arrest. :o

Anyway, the latest is HERE (http://www.komonews.com/news/51808947.html).

Yeah, caught because some homeless guy noticed a can of Mace, a wig, and a 2-way radio, and then noted down the license #, and then told the cops.

A top-of-the-line plan spoiled by a nosy passerby. :rolleyes:

You couldn't get away with a coincidence like that in a story!

Oh, well, it's still a terrific idea-seed for GMs. :thumbup: (minus the homeless guy, of course ;) )

Dr. Infamous is taking copious notes. So is The Mallard.
