This is a question Conned

Have you carried out a successful con? Perhaps you hustled a few quid off a stranger, or defrauded a multi-national company. Or have you been taken for the wide-eyed, naive rube that you are?

This is a QotW answer Free Whisky
I dropped into the supermarket to pick up a few things on the way back from work. As I walked home, I suddenly heard a frantic “clink, clink, clink” and the sound of someone running fast. I turned to see a dishevelled guy clutching a supermarket basket containing six litre bottles of whisky that still had the security caps in place.

The guy sped past me and a few moments later I saw him emerge from a garden sans basket. “Aha!” I thought, “That must mean that the whisky is in the garden!” And so it was – hidden under a car! I quickly liberated a bottle and rushed home to find my hacksaw to remove the security cap!

So that was how I defrauded a thief and a supermarket in one fell swoop!

Length? – well let’s just say mine’s a large one! Cheers!
