For Tom Levin: Please tell them when you rot13 your jokes.  Better yet don't
post them. The're BAD anyway.

About ten years ago in my hometown (Livonia, MI) some theives tried to steal
some stereo equipment from a local consumer electronics shop by cutting a
hole in the rear door of the place.  They showed up late at night with a
UHAUL trailer containing welding apparatus including a cutting torch.  They
proceeded to cut a large hole with the cutting torch, ignoring the fact that
the sparks that were thrown off by this type of cutting were landing onto
cardboard boxes that the new stereo equipment comes in.  When they finished
cutting the hole in the door, they were welcomed by a roaring blaze inside
the store.  Realizing that they could not continue the burglary, they sped
away from the scene without turning on their headlights.  They were stopped
by an Officer shortly after that for driving without the headlights.  The
Officer noticed the welding equipment was still smoking and almost
that instant a call came over his radio that someone set that store on fire
by burning through the back door.  Busted!!!
