True Crime Story:
South Carolina: A man walked into a police station, dropped a bag of cocaine on the counter, informed the desk sergeant that it was substandard cut, and insisted that the person who sold it to him be arrested immediately.

Hey, quality control on the street is important. Doesn't anyone have any pride in workmanship anymore?!
It is really hard to write crime fiction with intelligent criminals since there are so few examples in real life!
Terrie
My favorite has to be the guys in NYC who sat their dead friend down the sidewalk in a desk chair to cash in his Social Security check. Best part was that (if I remember correctly) it was forgiven as a kind of "honest mistake" - the guy was semi-comatose from alcohol overload half the time, and his buddies didn't want him to miss cashing his check - and, I assume, sharing the fresh bottle of pain medication.
Wish I was on-hand to witness the responding cop's reaction.

Nan-
I think Laura has a story like this, too, about a crazy neighbor. I love the sense of outrage : )
Sounds like a Carl Hiaasen novel! I love it!
The story I love is about a stark naked guy who tried to rob places.
Thinking he was the Invisible Man, he'd taken something he thought made him invisible.
(There's no truth to the rumor Terrie Moran waited 3 days to tell him it wasn't working.)
Leigh,
I'm still chuckling about Terrie and the naked thief. Thanks for the mental image.
