1871...Tips For Thieves, Part One

If you steal scratch tickets from store A do not claim the winning scratch tickets at store A.

Or store K.

Capeche?

Associated Press tells us that a Winter Haven man was arrested after authorities say he took a winning scratch-off ticket back to the store he had stolen it from a day earlier.

The Polk County Sheriff's Office, that's in Florida, reports that 22-year-old Alen Nguyen stole $70 worth of scratch-off lottery tickets from a Circle K store on Sunday.

One of the tickets was a winner; Mr. Nguyen, was a loser when he brought the scratcher back to the store earlier today to claim the cash. The clerk, who was aware of the theft asked Nguyen for his driver's license and wrote down the information. The clerk called the authorities, and deputies went to arrest Nguyen.

He was charged with retail theft and later released on $250 bail.
