Stealing Speakers

I was scrolling through the local section of the Journal Star, Lincoln’s town newspaper, when I came across the story of speaker boxes being stolen at both a Subway and Kentucky Fried Chicken over the weekend. This story stood out to me for no apparent reason other than the absurdity of stealing the speaker boxes. So reading through the police report, I saw that the speaker box from Subway was valued at two hundred dollars and the one from Kentucky Fried Chicken was only fifty dollars. I did not even know how expensive those things were and I honestly take them for granted. I know I would never think of stealing one of those speaker boxes and it makes me ponder the weird people we live among.

It would be really interesting to meet the people who took the time out of their days to figure out to steal two speaker boxes. Either they are totally insane or were under the influence of a narcotic or alcohol because no one in their right mind steals those things. What are they supposed to do with them now? Are they going to set them up at their house so they can talk to people who come around to the back? It would be kind of suspicious to have one of those just sitting in your front lawn. So I think these people are not the crème of the crop. Or they could possible sell it on ebay. Would their advertisement say stolen speakers for sale? I just do not think that this was the wisest idea even though they must have had a plan of attack to snip the wires and get away without getting caught. I would like to meet someone who is unique enough to pull that one off.
