Reply #28: Two of my favorite scams: [View All]

[truedelphi]

A starving artistst who had skills in terms of welding and what not, put together a deposit box that he then went and attached over the real deposit box at the local bank.

(This was before there were security cameras on all our streets.)

Second favorite scam - people who visited the dumpsters of high end restaurants in the wee hours of the morning - and took off with all the empty wine bottles of high pedigree. They then bought the same type of wine (red, or white) and re-filled the bottles with the cheaper brew, and re-sold to restaurants, making a lot of profit.
