A few years ago, thieves targeted a local vending place.

They kidnapped one of the drivers and forced her to let them in the door. Since the driver had no access to the counting room except a mailslot-sized deposit drawer, they couldn't get to the cash. They stole the warehouse forklift and crashed it into the armored door, but it wouldn't make a dent. They decided they'd bash in the wall from the outside, but got the forklift stuck in the yard.

Utterly defeated, they stole the only thing they could get their hands on - a few cases of Twinkies.

They weren't caught, but I've had this scene running in my head ever since: New convict, first day in the yard, and someone asks "So, what are you in for?"

Years ago, I had the pleaure of cleaning up after a couple of thieves who hit a HQ for my company.

They had a shopping list of stuff. Mostly high-end electronics, though they did rifle safes and so on. They also cleaned out everything in the vending machine, except....

They left the packs of powdered mini-donuts. For the cops, I'd assume.

I hated them for the mess that they made, but tipped my cap on that particular one.

They were later caught, as they (or the people who they fenced the computers to) called in to the manufacturer for support. Good riddance.
