Your out of town on business, enjoying a city break when your home is ransacked and some certain valuable items are stolen, say a few horse saddles? How would you think the culprit would avoid detection at the scene?
- Wear gloves?
- Ski Mask?
- Post an internet classified advert asking other people to ransack the place?
BING CORRECT ANSWER!!
Brandon and Amber Herbert were nabbed last night for allegedly posting the March 22 Craigslist ad, which claimed that the Jacksonville ranch’s owner had to leave town so suddenly that his belongings–which included a horse–were available for the taking. The Herberts, investigators charge, did this to cover up their prior theft of several saddles and other items from the garage of the rural southern Oregon house, which is owned by contractor Robert Salisbury.
You have to stop and admire they way some people think sometimes. What brilliance! If it hadn’t been for the muppets posting the advert from a home computer with a completely traceable IP address this would even have left Columbo scratching his head. .
