Robbing a widow the day she buries her husband is just so unnecessarily cruel. Like yeah she can recover the value of items through her insurance but forcing her to go through that while also dealing with burying her husband is just horrible. Not to mention some of the stolen items may have been very sentimental in relation to her husband.
Story 10 is great revenge. Those people, if he wasn't on actual payroll, were scamming him and the government. Having some stuff stolen from them instead of having the government screw up their business is a mercy
I believe he meant to say “morally reprehensible”. There’s really no ethical scale for robbery, but there is certainly a moral scale in method and target
There was a very famous case in my city where a high priced defence lawyer hit and killed cyclist but drove from the scene. Got home and necked a bottle of expensive red. The police caught up with him an hour later. The guy did the math is his head and running from the accident got him less time than them being able to prove he was drunk when he killed the guy. He was disbarred and he went from being high society to a nobody.
A guy I knew would “tax” the owners of the company we worked for by pocketing a $20 every time the very abusive owner would yell at him. Most things were cash and as a large portion of the income was service based, so there often weren’t receipts or anything written down. I never said anything because honestly they deserved it. He said basically that they didn’t pay him enough to yell at him for their own mistakes, but they can mistakenly pay him enough to tolerate them one more day. On his last day, he walked out with over $300 in cash from the till that they never even noticed was missing. He hadn’t been yelled at that day. He just hated them at that point and decided they could spare a parting gift. I hated them too, so I wasn’t exactly tripping over myself to tell them and technically they didn’t ask.
As an Aussie - EFTPOS isn't spelt out, it's said as a single world like you don't call NASA "En-Ay-Es-Ay" but "Nah-sah". Also QANTAS (Queensland And Northern Territory Air Service) is similarly said as a single world - "Kwantas" - if you ever come across it.
Thank you for this. I'm constantly having to encourage people to spell out what abbreviations stand for the first time it is typed in a new post. It helps readers that might not be familiar with a particular abbreviation to understand the context of the post.
Former bank teller here... 5:16 "None of the banks triggered the silent alarm..." The robber wasn't necessarily intimidating. We're trained to do whatever a robber says and give them whatever they ask for. And don't trip the silent alarm unless 100% safe to do so, which is usually after the robber has left. Why? The money is insured, and our lives are more important than any amount of money in the bank. Preserve life, not the cash.
So "hypothetically" if you change the price of an item on a website via the html, you can show a retailer the website and get a price match. Would be a real interactive site, so there are no suspensions. Most retailers now verify via their PC
My college professor told me that a bank agent he knew of when the computer was supposed to round up for transactions he manually rounded them down, for decades this went on and the guy raked in millions before he was caught
55:53 While that's technically true, a lot of people said they did it a long time ago in which case it's likely past the statute of limitations. I'm more than happy to confess to using my older brother's ID to buy alcohol starting when I was 18 and ending once I turned 21 because I'm in my mid-30s now so I couldn't get in trouble for it.
Workers in a Government department in Australia were buying copying paper which had promotions / rebates attached to purchase. Someone found out because they were supposed to be buying a different brand. As there were many people taking part in this, no single person was targeted as the ring leader. Punishment was a slap on the wrist..
Full sized videos! I understand some people just listen to the content and don't watch the gameplay, but I do enjoy watching it. Thanks for both the story and the full sized video :)
About ethical robbing people. Once you are in jail that stuff start to matter a lot. You robbed a old lady while she was burrying her husband ? You better not get caught cause if you do you might need protection in jail
Fun fact: You haven't finished the video yet Edit: For those who don't understand, I posted this 3 minutes after the video was uploaded you still haven't finished the video yet
Dunno if this counts as smart or dumb but we had fake £20 notes coming through the shop back when they were still paper, but to make the notes feel slightly oily (which they were supposed to) the forgets had smothered them in shampoo, problem was they didn't use an unscented shampoo, so you could * smell * the forgeries lol
One time I was at a grocery store a little late. I was at the self checkout just chatting with the attendant and forgot to scan something. Neither she or I noticed. I still feel bad about it and it was years ago.
One time at a grocery store, I didn’t steal anything but something I bought wasn’t properly deactivated because the beeper went off. The guy waved me through, and I asked him “don’t you want to check my stuff? I mean I promise I didn’t steal anything” and he replied “honestly I don’t care if you did” and I still think about that sometimes
*《THE TAX MAN COMETH STORY》* Woah-Woah-Woah! *WOAH.* I'm sorry, but _how did every last one of their victims fail to reach out to the FORMER accountants/tax-filers to get _*_copies_*_ of all the_ *original* _filings that listed the business as a _*_"sole-propriatorship"?!_* Isn't that 100% damning proof of their fraud?!
I was a cop for almost 40 years. I worked every kind of case, in every venue, you could think of. Not once did I meet Hannibal Lecter or Lex Luthor. I met a lot of Mr Hyde and Otis’, though. There’s a saying-you don’t catch the smart ones. True-ish. I have encountered some crafty, persuasive, or cagey ones, but that’s more instinctive almost than skill or talent. Just my experience, maybe there is a Clouseau out there that’s encountered a Sir Lytton 🤷♂️
Story 3 is lazy management. If you see excessive amount of coupons put through on your pos clearly something is wrong. Im surprised he wasnt fired much sooner
Throwback to that time when some youtuber sold courses on how to get rich, and the whole thing was basically just: "making money is easy. You just take it from someone" which is literally what he was doing, selling that "course" to his fans
As to the final comment, I dare say many of these stories are well beyond the statute of limitations, or no longer in the jurisdiction that the crime was done and it's not egregious enought for extradition. Just imagine about the crimes that no one knows happen, those are the actual smart ones.
My great grandpa told a story about how his childhood farming community's bank was robbed back in the 1930s (one of two times it was robbed before it was closed, but suspects were caught both times). Some teens held up the bankeras he opened up one day. The banker gave a description of the getaway car. The law enforcement traced the car going into one of the many orange groves but lost track of it after that but noticed a puddle. Around 30 minutes later a civilian made a comment about just looking for a recently cleaned car. As it turned out the man was their uncle. They had used water soluble paint on the car and simply washed it off when they were out of sight.
I did the restaurant thing over 20 years ago when I was waiting tables at dennys. They started screwing with our tips with this new pos system. It was taking half our tips and wouldn’t fix the problem. So all of a sudden cash sales plummeted. When someone paid cash. We went into the system, removed 90% of the things on the ticket and pocketed the difference. They stole hundreds from us. But we stole tens of thousands from them over the 6 month span they refused to fix the pos system.
Years ago, I worked in the cafeteria at a college. Lead cashier would tell a customer the amount of the order but not ring it up. She'd give change but pocket the money. This went on for several months. Finally, she did this to a secret shopper. He walked out, called the manager, and explained what happened. the manager immediately pulled the drawer and it was $100 over. She was fired on the spot.
Used to live in a small country town in Australia. Small enough that it didn't have a police station but large enough for a bank. A guy I knew (white) had this plan to fully cover his body and essentially blackface areas that might even show. Then make himself smell like an alcho and rob the bank talking/ slurring like a stereotypical drunk aboriginal (which the town had a few, in fact all the demographics of that town had alcohol problems). He knew a couple of people who worked in the bank and they were hell racist so would buy into the act really easily. Then he realised he had drunkenly told someone his plan so could never do it. Does make me wonder though. Lot's of places in the world where you can cover your skin and put on a different accent and people won't even be looking for someone of your race. Especially paces where people have various opinions of which races commit crimes.
My dad's friend from high school lost his wife... I knew them well enough but we weren't close and I was assigned house sitting during the receiving friends and the funeral next day.
story 58 reminded me of my summer job in the local grocery store. I was there for 1 month, but I hated the assistant manager so much, I stole so many bottles of Red Bull. The store only had one security camera (If it even was a real camera) in the back isle where all the beer was and I can't remember the amount of times I just went into the walk in cooler, took a bottle of Red Bull out back, emptied it and threw it into the dumpster. Never got caught because I was alone in the back sorting deliveries quite often and the other employees and the two managers were too busy to check on me
in vienna, there was a story, that thugs were walking in the streets to pick up cigarette stubs. well, that were the early days of DNA sampling, and some criminal had the bright idea of just picking up cigarette stubs to plant false evidence, causing police to think that there was a smoker on the crime scene and giving them various false DNA leads.
i used to work concessions at a movie theatre.. used to pay ushers to bring me back large soda cups still in good shape from the theatre. it was their job to clean the theater after showings. id take the used cups to the back, wash em out then add em to my inventory so id have extra. then when people would come in and ask for a large soda or 2. id ring em up, pocket their money, then delete the charge. mind u large sodas are like $10 at the movies 😅 so id pocket like $70 a day. at 16 yrs old that was rich lol put my boy on to the scheme, but he OD’d. he would make like $200/$300 a day. they noticed the discrepancy of his drawer compared to others and called in the cops. im pretty sure he ratted on me, cus literally an hour before cops came and got him, our cool manager “fired” me for “always being late” 😉😉 she def did me a solid, but they really didnt have a case on me, cus i purposely flew under the radar. didnt think i had to explain that part to my boy.
Ok the storage unit one toward the end reminded me of a thing. I had a storage unit for a while after moving out after a breakup with a long term girlfriend who I was living with at the time. Fast forward a year and a half and im moving again into a better apartment with a lot more storage so I don't need my storage unit anymore. Go down there to get the rest of my stuff out, hadn't been there in probably close to 6 months. I show up and there's a completely different lock on my unit. Go to the office and they said it was one of their locks. I asked what happened to my lock and why their lock was on it. The person working literally could not tell me. There was no note on my account or anything. I get the key from him, go down there, and half my shit is gone. Clearly my locker was broken into, stolen from, one of the storage place employees found my locker unlocked, put a lock on it, and at no point did anybody think to call the person renting the unit to tell me. That is one of the very few 1 star google reviews that I will never edit or take down.
Story 46: anti-money laundering laws make it illegal to refund gift cards that's why the machines automatically spit out cash because the card cannot legally be refunded.
For story 43- where you buy $500 of girlscout cookies and get a tax deduction for it, then donate that money to a charity and get a tax deduction for *that,* like......... Is that not legal, though? Why wouldn't that be legal?
Pirating Amazon Prime TV: get a Fire TV stick, a HDCP stripper sold as an "HDMI splitter" to crack the encryption, and an HDMI capture card to connect the cracked signal into your computer and hit record. All three devices can be ordered at the same time, and will arrive in the same box, with one-day free shipping because you're a Prime member.
Also, the story about the guy filing fraudulent business registrations to later claim a portion of the assets that didn't belong to him: obviously the attorney was in on the scam, and the way to stop these scams is disbarment of the attorney involved. Attorneys have a code of ethics and aren't allowed to help people commit fraud.
I have a funny story when i worked at Arby's in june of 2023 i was doing the cleaning work mopping the back as i was a pot head and not allowed to do much else while i was blasted. Well on this day im mopping the back of the Arby's and my manager was swapping the registers, well someone came through the drive thru and gave one of my coworkers a play money 20. Don't quite remember if they tried to pay with it or just gave them it as a joke but my boss comes to me and says. "Hey X, does this look like a real 20" and at the time im so high off weed (blunts and a pen) that im on auto pilot. I take a quick glance at the play money 20 and say no, then start busting out laughing as my boss tells me what happened. Im like bruh that's way to big and it's dark green and teal no way thats a real 20.
Someone I knew drove home drunk (yup stupid) and near his house he could tell a cop was on to him but hadn't turned on the just lights yet, so he speed the rest of the way home, ran into his house and quickly grabbed a bottle of vodka. At this point the cop had caught up and started pounding on the door. The guy quickly opened up the door and before even saying a word to the cop, took a few huge swigs from the vodka bottle. This instantly made any breathalyser or other sobriety tests the cop was planning to give completely useless as the cop just saw him drink on his own premises.
For that Best Buy dude: I used to work at BBY, both store and corporate levels If the customers has complained he would've still been caught He's not nearly as slick as he thinks he is, he just got lucky lol The only thing he did was potentially also get that other person mixed up in it 🤣🤣🤣
Here’s a good one…. So I was chilling at one of those outdoor access storage unit I was renting one cold ish winter day a couple years ago, moving stuff around whatever when out pops this rickety over animated tweeker girl in her 30’s out of nowhere and tries to strike up some meaningless conversation with me. My hands instantly start fishing around for my trinity of life, phone/keys/wallet the second I saw her. This wasn’t my first rodeo, and sure enough, she does this lunge-pointy thing at the doorway I was standing in, watching her like a hawk but she was QUICK. I saw the downward swiping motion with her arm over the top of a shelf but like I said, I had my trinity of life onboard and after she went tracking onward, back to her storage unit where she mumbled something about staying there with her bf earlier. I figured AT BEST she just swiped some dumb old thing that must be more important to her…. DUDE!!!! Everything was going just FINE…. UNTIL. I look for my STORAGE LOCK. I remember looking for quite awhile. Went through my car starting to panick…. I mean, nice move. BUT thankfully for my annoying side effect of smoking the reef, I always do the “trinity of life check” EVERTY TIME I move 10 ft or more AND always keep an extra something handy due to countless past dumb damsel in distress situations in the past that I prefer to not repeat if and when possible. I thought I was EFFED. It was after hours and there was no one else there but ME and THEM. Hiding. Somewhere. With. My. Storage. Lock. I would have been FORCED TO LEAVE MY UNIT UNATTENDED before I’d have to run about a mile up the road to True Value Hardware store to buy another one. Looks like this wasn’t their first rodeo either…. This was getting increasing spookier with each passing minute on many levels when…. CHECKMATE. I FOUND ANOTHER ONE IN MY CAR WITH A KEY! After I slammed that door down that locked that MF I breathed a sigh of refused WHILE caring to my vehicle. Here’s the kicker… As I was exiting toward the property gate I had my drivers window half way open and while passing through the suspected area of where these two were staying…. LOL I never saw them only HEARD them arguing like cats and dawgs after a-plannin’ gon wrong! I wanted to hackle out in laughter at their demise but I know bolt cutters are either smaller and eisier to steal, they’re only $20 (and I saw a sandwich earlier that week for $10!) So the moral of the story is if the good guy wins you don’t taunt and encourage to ramp up their temptation to make another play but…. You just know when to walk away when date already solved the problem.
For the last comment by the narrator about all the random stuff on the internet and how no one will go through it all to figure out who did this or that. Just wait until we have a good enough artificial intelligence with enough processing power and someone will get the idea to have it do all of the checking and tracking.
The only bad thing about these stories is that the most incredible ones will probably never appear, since the perpetrators never got caught.
I love how most of these stories aren't from cops
Classic redditors gotta be the centre of attention
Well yeah, cops suck at actually investigating crime.
Well I assume actual cops won't tell people about smart ways to commit crimes lol. They're trying to prevent people from commiting crimes.
It does say etc so...
Also smart criminals dont really get caught that often.
Robbing a widow the day she buries her husband is just so unnecessarily cruel. Like yeah she can recover the value of items through her insurance but forcing her to go through that while also dealing with burying her husband is just horrible.

That's horrible 😢

26:00 car dealers are scammers. they find out you got away with a car scam for that long and theyll probably hire you on the spot
He hired one of the people the wrote the literal tax code. Brilliant!
what you meant to say re the burglarising of the widow on funeral day. "There is wrong, then there is just pure evil"
Nice wording!
I believe he meant to say “morally reprehensible”. There’s really no ethical scale for robbery, but there is certainly a moral scale in method and target

i used to work concessions at a movie theatre.. used to pay ushers to bring me back large soda cups still in good shape from the theatre. it was their job to clean the theater after showings. id take the used cups to the back, wash em out then add em to my inventory so id have extra. then when people would come in and ask for a large soda or 2. id ring em up, pocket their money, then delete the charge. mind u large sodas are like $10 at the movies 😅 so id pocket like $70 a day. at 16 yrs old that was rich lol put my boy on to the scheme, but he OD’d. he would make like $200/$300 a day. they noticed the discrepancy of his drawer compared to others and called in the cops. im pretty sure he ratted on me, cus literally an hour before cops came and got him, our cool manager “fired” me for “always being late” 😉😉 she def did me a solid, but they really didnt have a case on me, cus i purposely flew under the radar. didnt think i had to explain that part to my boy.
The people who said they get why Heather did it, were dropped on their head as a baby repeatedly. How can anyone be so extremely thick
Thanks for the ideas
Would anyone else like to see these stories in animations? I think it’d be hilarious!
Ok the storage unit one toward the end reminded me of a thing.
I had a storage unit for a while after moving out after a breakup with a long term girlfriend who I was living with at the time. Fast forward a year and a half and im moving again into a better apartment with a lot more storage so I don't need my storage unit anymore. Go down there to get the rest of my stuff out, hadn't been there in probably close to 6 months. I show up and there's a completely different lock on my unit. Go to the office and they said it was one of their locks. I asked what happened to my lock and why their lock was on it. The person working literally could not tell me. There was no note on my account or anything. I get the key from him, go down there, and half my shit is gone. Clearly my locker was broken into, stolen from, one of the storage place employees found my locker unlocked, put a lock on it, and at no point did anybody think to call the person renting the unit to tell me. That is one of the very few 1 star google reviews that I will never edit or take down.
I dont even think the donation tax thing is illegal. Probably just another rich person thing.
I was screwing my shipyard for copper scraps but they were screwing me for my money so everything was perfectly balanced
41:58 error with captions you said which isnt greatness but the captions say which is greatness
Story 46: anti-money laundering laws make it illegal to refund gift cards that's why the machines automatically spit out cash because the card cannot legally be refunded.
For story 43- where you buy $500 of girlscout cookies and get a tax deduction for it, then donate that money to a charity and get a tax deduction for *that,* like......... Is that not legal, though? Why wouldn't that be legal?
using ubiquitous in casual conversation is so extra 🤣
Pirating Amazon Prime TV: get a Fire TV stick, a HDCP stripper sold as an "HDMI splitter" to crack the encryption, and an HDMI capture card to connect the cracked signal into your computer and hit record. All three devices can be ordered at the same time, and will arrive in the same box, with one-day free shipping because you're a Prime member.
Also, the story about the guy filing fraudulent business registrations to later claim a portion of the assets that didn't belong to him: obviously the attorney was in on the scam, and the way to stop these scams is disbarment of the attorney involved. Attorneys have a code of ethics and aren't allowed to help people commit fraud.
I have a funny story when i worked at Arby's in june of 2023 i was doing the cleaning work mopping the back as i was a pot head and not allowed to do much else while i was blasted. Well on this day im mopping the back of the Arby's and my manager was swapping the registers, well someone came through the drive thru and gave one of my coworkers a play money 20. Don't quite remember if they tried to pay with it or just gave them it as a joke but my boss comes to me and says. "Hey X, does this look like a real 20" and at the time im so high off weed (blunts and a pen) that im on auto pilot. I take a quick glance at the play money 20 and say no, then start busting out laughing as my boss tells me what happened. Im like bruh that's way to big and it's dark green and teal no way thats a real 20.
16 makes me feel like the dad was in on it and just as shitty.
Take a shot every time you hear “not a cop” in a reddit video about cop stories
Someone I knew drove home drunk (yup stupid) and near his house he could tell a cop was on to him but hadn't turned on the just lights yet, so he speed the rest of the way home, ran into his house and quickly grabbed a bottle of vodka. At this point the cop had caught up and started pounding on the door. The guy quickly opened up the door and before even saying a word to the cop, took a few huge swigs from the vodka bottle. This instantly made any breathalyser or other sobriety tests the cop was planning to give completely useless as the cop just saw him drink on his own premises.
For that Best Buy dude:
I used to work at BBY, both store and corporate levels
If the customers has complained he would've still been caught
He's not nearly as slick as he thinks he is, he just got lucky lol
The only thing he did was potentially also get that other person mixed up in it 🤣🤣🤣
What's the game being played in the background here?
Soooo that game in the background...... what is it? What console? Nintendo?
If you have the money to stage a reshoot for some photos you have no right to be mad lol
i fall asleep listening to this guy 😭
same lol

Here’s a good one….
So I was chilling at one of those outdoor access storage unit I was renting one cold ish winter day a couple years ago, moving stuff around whatever when out pops this rickety over animated tweeker girl in her 30’s out of nowhere and tries to strike up some meaningless conversation with me. My hands instantly start fishing around for my trinity of life, phone/keys/wallet the second I saw her.
This wasn’t my first rodeo, and sure enough, she does this lunge-pointy thing at the doorway I was standing in, watching her like a hawk but she was QUICK.
I saw the downward swiping motion with her arm over the top of a shelf but like I said, I had my trinity of life onboard and after she went tracking onward, back to her storage unit where she mumbled something about staying there with her bf earlier.
I figured AT BEST she just swiped some dumb old thing that must be more important to her….
DUDE!!!! Everything was going just FINE….
UNTIL. I look for my STORAGE LOCK. I remember looking for quite awhile. Went through my car starting to panick…. I mean, nice move.
BUT thankfully for my annoying side effect of smoking the reef, I always do the “trinity of life check” EVERTY TIME I move 10 ft or more AND always keep an extra something handy due to countless past dumb damsel in distress situations in the past that I prefer to not repeat if and when possible.
I thought I was EFFED. It was after hours and there was no one else there but ME and THEM. Hiding. Somewhere. With. My. Storage. Lock.
I would have been FORCED TO LEAVE MY UNIT UNATTENDED before I’d have to run about a mile up the road to True Value Hardware store to buy another one.
Looks like this wasn’t their first rodeo either….
This was getting increasing spookier with each passing minute on many levels when….
CHECKMATE.
I FOUND ANOTHER ONE IN MY CAR WITH A KEY!
After I slammed that door down that locked that MF I breathed a sigh of refused WHILE caring to my vehicle.
Here’s the kicker…
As I was exiting toward the property gate I had my drivers window half way open and while passing through the suspected area of where these two were staying…. LOL
I never saw them only HEARD them arguing like cats and dawgs after a-plannin’ gon wrong!
I wanted to hackle out in laughter at their demise but I know bolt cutters are either smaller and eisier to steal, they’re only $20 (and I saw a sandwich earlier that week for $10!)
So the moral of the story is if the good guy wins you don’t taunt and encourage to ramp up their temptation to make another play but…. You just know when to walk away when date already solved the problem.
No wonder they were scamming the salon. Cuts so bad a bis called CORPORATE ..... ??no tips I imagine
The smart ones are the ones who never interact with the police
What subreddit can you post questions like this in?
Story 18 is just the plot to Office Space XD great movie - which in they compare the scheme to Superman III
Story 3: wouldnt a coupon just discount the purchase price? How did it equate to “cash” if they still had to spend money?
they could sell the item at a full price? but thats legal
FATE! Jeez. Spell check…
i wonder what happened to the swedish farmer. smart idea tho
Is this voice the son of the guy I've seen give a face reveal on another video on this channel ? Or is this a CHATGPT voice ?

",he worked for Pablo Escobar and would have been ended if he had talked."
Then how do you know?
For the last comment by the narrator about all the random stuff on the internet and how no one will go through it all to figure out who did this or that. Just wait until we have a good enough artificial intelligence with enough processing power and someone will get the idea to have it do all of the checking and tracking.
