Lack of vocational train-ing almost made these crooks roadkill--they had just been fired from AmTrak for being lousy conductors. They should be ridden out of town on a third rail and kicked in the caboose.

Both were charged Wednesday, but only Basinger was well enough to attend his arraignment on the attempted theft charge.
I wonder if they'll take a course in basic electricity.

We just had a Darwin winner in Lancaster County PA who tried to steal copper caternery wires from a rail line. I guess he thought that because the rails were inactive the lines would not be energized-—they were live, and now he is not.

Under this story, there’s one called “Half-eaten Snickers bar implicates hungry burglar”. Obvioudly, brain power is spread very thinly at the bottom of the criminals’ bell curve.
