15 Minutes of Fame Will Get You 30
I heard about this 'lucky find' on NPR the other day, but seems the story wasn't entirely accurate (Update via Jonah).
A group of men who made national headlines by claiming they found a buried treasure in a Methuen back yard were charged Friday with stealing the collection of old currency from a house where they were doing roofing work.....Police said Crebase confessed to finding the money in the gutter of a barn they were hired to repair in Newbury. But lawyers for Billcliff and Crebase said the men were sticking to their story of finding the box under a tree in the back yard of a house Crebase rented from Kozak.
The treasure has an estimated worth of around $100K.
You know, if you're gonna be stupid enough to steal something, you ought to at least be smart enough to keep your mouth shut.
