Thief nailed selling a million stolen screws

Fri Sep 28, 1:42 PM ET BERLIN (Reuters) - A German factory worker stole over a million screws from his employer and skewed the market with his cheap stolen goods, police said Friday.

"In the end, it became obvious that screws were being sold for much less than they usually cost," said a spokesman for police in the southern city of Wuerzburg.

Over two years, the 33-year-old assembly plant worker smuggled between 2,000 and 7,000 screws out of work each night, and auctioned them on an Internet site, police said. The scheme cost his firm around 110,000 euros ($156,000).

The man confessed after officers raided his home.

This is interesting

Okay, so we agree there should be no more of us.  If this doesn't motivate you to get snipped or tied, there is nothing more I can say!  (It is actually very clever, even if the topic/theme is something I've luckily never had to experience!)

Great sentence from an Internet Scam Email

"Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise and may offend your personality for contacting you without your prior consent and writing through this unofficial channel."
His Indignation?  His "imposition" or something, but indignation?  LOL
 
I'm more offended by the length of the sentence.
