I don't go to a bank to get a visible stack of money but one of these guys may have been watching for a customer to withdraw a lot of cash.

Appropriately, her dog was named Rambo.

My mother has a dog named Rambo..
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

why not a Crime thread?

There's a development in the 3 Australian deaths due to poison mushrooms.

here are the characters, for my benefit at least

*Erin Patterson , the mushroom cook

*Don and Gail Patterson, died, her former in-laws

*Heather Wilkinson, died, Gail's sister

*Ian Wilkinson, Heather’s husband, in critical condition

Erin Patterson has now said she got the mushrooms from the store. She’s made a mistake now for sure, for the reasons that it’s unheard of to buy such in the normal course of things … and no other shopper, evidently, got hold of these poison mushrooms.

Murderers can really be dumb

The Lincoln quip comes to mine.

Other than that, how was the beef Wellington?

I just read about this fiasco...the cook erred in not eating some of the spiked food herself; were I the murderess I'd have eaten just enough for it to sicken but not harm me, so that when the investigation began I could then better feign innocence.

She should have said she bought them not at a store but at a stand / farmer's market and had no idea that they were deadly.

At least then it would be worth trying to a jury, but given these facts she'll plead guilty to avoid the certain conviction and harsher penalty after trial.
