My Kind of Criminal!!!!
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/...ome;topStories
I know this isn't really funny, but I laughed out loud when I read this story. 
"A former bookkeeper embezzled $9.9 million, forcing her company to make layoffs while she bought 400 pairs of shoes that she kept in a room-sized closet that contained a crystal chandelier and a plasma television, authorities claimed.
Annette Yeomans, 51, surrendered at the Vista jail on Friday and was booked for investigation of grand theft and embezzlement.
...She spent at least $240,000 on 400 pairs of shoes, $300,000 on designer clothing and 160 purses valued at $2,000 each, investigators alleged.
A bedroom in her San Marcos home was remodeled into a clothes closet and boasted a granite-covered center island, crystal chandelier and 32-inch plasma television, Varnau said."

Re: My Kind of Criminal!!!!
When I was at the bank we had many training seminars on embezzlement and how to spot it. In the end it came down to the fact that those who embezzle almost never get caught the first time. Rather, they almost always succeed initially -which means that don't stop. Whether it be one year or 20 years, they keep doing it until they ARE caught -and they always are.

It makes my shoe and purse collection look rather modest!
