How badly do you want that big screen TV?

Not as badly as some people. Here's a story about a guy in Newcastle (U.K.), who stole a big plasma TV from a local school, by running through a pane of glass to get into the room. This happened on Feb. 23, 2007, and was caught on closed-circuit TV. The man paused for a moment, then smashed through the window, dusted himself off and stole the TV, then went back out through the hole he had made. Sounds like a scene from a Terminator movie.

What's odd is that old-style glass would have broken into jagged pieces and probably caused severe injuries; a tougher modern glass might have taken the blow, leaving him banged up; but it was just the type of glass where the stunt might work.

Yes, one category of human story I like are bizarre and stupid crime stories.
