Most burglars (I imagine) look for big-ticket items like cash, jewels and electronics. So kudos to Marc Turgeon for allegedly nabbing an Orvis fly rod in a New Hampshire Caper.
Unfortunately, any (slight) admiration for his taste is offset by his ridiculous move in selling the items he apparently stole on CraigsList!
From N.H.’s Seacoast.com:
After breaking into a Nottingham home, where he stole a fly fishing rod and sound system, Marc Turgeon posted the stolen items on craigslist, then sold them at a city pawn shop, say police. He was caught, police allege, after the victim saw the items posted for sale and a police officer found pawn slips for the goods during a traffic stop.
Police said the rod was a $325 Orvis model, probably a TLS Power Matrix.
