Police: Man Tries to Sell Stolen Items

The headline of this story seems inoccuous enough until you actually read the story itself:

GREAT FALLS - An employee at the Wal-Mart in Great Falls faces felony theft
charges for allegedly taking electronics from the store and posting the items
for sale on an employee bulletin board.

Remo Spencer was arrested Saturday at Wal-Mart.Spencer had posted an ad on an employee bulletin board indicating that he had several iPods and computers for
sale.

A manager became suspicious and reviewed surveillance footage, discovering
the thefts, police said.Police said Remo returned eight laptop computers and seven iPods valued at nearly $7,000.

This reminds me of the part in Office Space where the guys have just discovered that they have stolen A LOT more money from the company than they meant to and Michael Bolton says,

"You know what I can't figure out? How is it that all these stupid neanderthal
mafia guys can be so good at crime, and smart guys like us can suck so badly at
it."

Although, I'm not sure which criterion fits the perpetrator of the above crime...
