Default Trolleys torn apart for £1 coins
This is a real news story, but I thought it would go well here given how much I laughed when I read it.

Trolleys torn apart for £1 coins

Some stores charge a returnable fee of £1 for the use of trolleys

Vandals took apart dozens of supermarket trolleys in the mistaken belief they contained £1 coins.

The would-be thieves targeted 83 shopping carts at Lidl's supermarket on Essington Way in Peterlee in the early hours of Tuesday.

 They took apart the handles of each trolley before stacking them in a neat pile in a black bin bag left nearby.

Police believe they did not realise the £1 coins are returned when shoppers take the trolleys back.

Although roads would have been quiet between 0100 and 0330 GMT, police are hoping passers-by or any drivers using Essington Way would have noticed activity in the supermarket's car park.

A Durham Police spokesman said: "We can only guess that those responsible have never used a supermarket trolley before, otherwise they would know where the money goes."

Why is it so funny to me? Because this is actually in my townand I know the kind of people who live in the area around that shop.

Yes, they really are that thick.

That is pretty dumb. They probably have large families too!

That part of Peterlee - thick as two short planks - so probably so.
