Police in Yorkshire, England conducted a "sting" operation, looking for people who had been successfully dodging outstanding warrants for their arrest. The police dressed up as mailmen, and announced that there was a Christmas package to be picked up at the post office. When the eager fugitives arrived, they were picked up instead. All except for one crook, who was slightly brighter than the rest. He thought it might be a scam. So he took his notice to the police station. [Heard this on National Public Radio this morning]
