premeditated theft of a for sale sign
I would like to make a confession for a friend of mine - we shall call him Matt (cause thats his name).

It was the time of 6th form pranks, and it was though that the school needed a new bus stop. Happily Matt new where onw had recently been knocked down by a motorist. So at 3am on a wednesday night with the bot of his car loaded up with mates, a hacksaw, cement, shovel and bottled water (for the cement) they crept out....

Arriving at the scene of the crime they found the bus stop was incredibly heavy and the kack saw did not cut through the magical material that they make bus stops out of. They decided that a change of plan was nessecary. Noticing a nearby for sale sign had come down they decidced that the putting the schhol up for sale would be a good plan.

So they got the sign down and walked towards the car with it .... just as a police car came around the corner.

Quick as a flash matt hid the sign under the car.

the police stopped and got out to speak with them citing that neighbours had seen suspicious behaviour in the area. They asked him what he was doing, -"just streching my legs officer"
"oh really, then why do you have a for sale sign under your car?"

the police then searched the car, sniffing the water and and atsting teh cement (much to the ammusment of all involved (except the cop who got a mouth full of cement)

They where then all arrested for premeditated theft of a for sale sign and taken back to the station for 1 hour of the cops winding them up before being released.

thanks for listening!
