Robbery Innovation

30Mar08

Well, it has not been invented by me nor do I see direct use for it (at least at the moment ;-), but I just found it so amazingly cool that I have to post it: an innovative strategy for robbing a house. Apparently it is a true story, I heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend (very reliable source……)

The story / strategy: my friends live in a house and go to work everyday by bike. One day one of their bikes is gone, stolen.

2 days later, the bike is back, standing in front of the house, with a big envelope to it and 2 expensive opera tickets in it. The letter attached says: “I am extremely sorry, I just needed super urgently a bike to get home, to make things up, I bought you 2 opera tickets, hoping that you might like it. I am truly sorry about that. Best regards”.

They were happy to have the bike back, went to the opera and when they came home, their house was empty.
