This one probably should have gone under humor, but hey, if the Sun Times Prints it, it must be news right?

Apparently thieves have a new modus operandi.  They are stealing oven doors!  Why you ask?  I am glad you asked that.  Apparently they are fencing them as Flat Screen TVs! "hey Martha, look at this cool picture of Duck a l'orange!".

At first detectives did not know why thieves were breaking into unoccupied houses and stealing Oven doors, until one Einstein picked the wrong lady to fence his to!  She paid $300 for it!  Great bargain!

She ratted the guy out and police caught him were they proceeded to put 2 and 2 together.

SO next time you think that deal on a flat screen TV is too good to be true, check your oven and make sure your door is still there.

Doc, I'm glad you showed the link so I can read some news. I been trying to WATCH the news but my new Maytag plasma TV doesn't seem to be working.

Plus I only get 9 channels. Warm, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500 and Broil.

Doc this is hysterical! I can't believe this! These criminals are so ingenious you would think they would use their smarts to where it would actually help them to have a honest living.

I want to know where they find the buyers. I'm sure they don't have a store. Do they just go up to strange people and ask them if they want to buy a plasma TV? Once at the Walmart parking lot some guy asked if I wanted to buy a gold necklace - uh, no thanks.

This is hilarious. Wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall when they got home, opened the cardboard box, and?????

HAHAHAHA

You get what you pay for.

You kind of answered your question.  I actually did buy a super duper watch once for $10 (I was in HS).  And it worked for about 30 days.  I learned early.  Some dont.
