What in the HELL was she thinking???
Came across an article on MSN about a bookkeeper who embezzled almost $7 million from her employer.
First of all, she was caught by another bookkeeper only after she left the company after working there for six years. She was embezzling by writing checks to herself, sometimes for as much as $50,000 each check. How wasn't this caught before? Of all the ways to embezzle, that has to be one of the easiest to find.
But, it doesn't stop there. One of the main rules of embezzlement is KEEP A LOW PROFILE. What does this woman, who earned only about $40,000 per year do? Goes out at buys some of the STUPIDEST ITMES EVER. An example of what she spent her money on:
* a life-size statue of Al Capone
* six talking trees modeled after the "Wizard of Oz" characters
* a 20-foot-tall smoke-breathing dragon
* more than 35 vehicles
* a replica of a Ford Model T customized to look like a green goblin
* and a private performance by singer Burt Bacharach
How can people this stupid continue to live?

Wow, Callie, a statue of Al Capone? That, to me, alone is an indication that she's nuts.
Thanks for sharing. That woman is a walking, talking, stealing joke.
AH ha ha ha ha ha! Wha-wha-what???
I can't stop laughing about that. No WAY someone can be that stupid.
STILL lmao. Holy cow.
Ok, seriously...what? I can't believe this lady bought those things. That tells me that she is WeTodDid and in the low-end of the gene pool to begin with...so how the hell was she able to steal money for so long, and so easily?
Wow. that blows me away.
I fully believe she was able to do that because the people running the company are just as STUPID as she was.
Would love to see that smoke breathing dragon, though . . .
Ahhhh hahahaha. Wow. What an idiot!
Why would she want a fire-breathing dragon thingy? Very od.
That was supposed to say "very odd". I apparenly am deficient at hitting the "d" twice. ;)
Maybe she really needed this stuff?
Is she related to Paris or Brittany..they do weird things too...but they don't have money issues.
