The ad for a used Peterbilt truck in the Bozeman, Montana newspaper that got answered by a skinny, sallow-looking redhead who paid in cash? Meh, that could've been a drug dealer. It happens. His money wasn't counterfeit and didn't match up with any serial numbers from bank hauls, so it was good.
The identity theft cases that suddenly sprang up in five different Midwestern states, all the victims being men in their late thirties but not sharing much else in common? Someone was probably planning on rotating through faked ID cards. The police would keep an eye out for any of the names on the list.
The massive midnight robbery at a Wyeth Consumer Healthcare factory in southern Ohio, where most of the factory's computers and other expensive equipment went untouched but a person or persons who managed to conceal themselves from the security system's cameras succeeded in walking off with several hundred boxes of Preparation H? ... yeah, we got nothin'. Although it did make a lot of stand-up comedians very happy for a while.
