As entertaining as this all is, it is also tragic. The "lesser able" criminals are remanded to physical acts in which they so often get trapped by their own ineptness, while the more clever and capable ones are using loopholes in business laws and practices and electronic means to safely steal vastly greater sums with negligible risk.

As funny as some of these tales are, I also feel sad for the perps who I believe would probably be willing to work at a real job if it provided dignity and a livable wage.
