UM, I THINK YOU MIGHT BE DOING IT WRONG...
On Saturday police in Bismarck, North Dakota, held their annual auction, attracting hundreds of people.
One very dumb criminal was caught red-handed as he attempted to steal a screwdriver set from inside vehicle that was on sale. Unsurprisingly, given that this was a police auction, the man was arrested and searched. Officers found a gold bracelet in his pocket that had also been taken from the sale.
I don't think he's found his niche yet.
