How Not to Use the Internet

This is hilarious. Two teens allegedly (the news story says it, so I do, too) burglarized a house of about $20,000 worth of electronic and computer gear. I guess it's hard to find a fence in the Chicago suburbs, so they figured they'd just sell the stuff themselves. On the Web. With full photos and contact information (because potential buyers would have to get in touch with them, after all). The cops were tipped, the burglary victim identified all his possessions, and the two teens are in custody.

Haven't we all seen enough heist movies to realize that you've got to know how you're going to move the merchandise before it's worth your while to snatch it?
