More wacky news

Here is another interesting weird, wacky story that I found.

Dumb Deposit
Berlin, GERMANY

Three Days after stealing a rare collection of coins, a thief in Germany took them to the bank for safe keeping — and delivered them into the hands of the man he robbed. “I don’t think the thief was expecting that,” said a spokesman for police in the western city of Dortmund on Tuesday.

Soon after the thief made the deposit, a bank worker handling the coins recognized them as the set worth 50,000 euros ($80,000) that had been stolen from his house. Police tracked down the 36-year-old suspect and arrested him, securing a haul of other stolen goods in the process.
