There are all sorts of ways to get money.

Some are wise, some less so, while others are just asking for pain to knock upon your door.

Gary Lee Cochran stands accused of perhaps taking one risk too far. The 59-year-old is said to have obtained money without legal justification and, perhaps, sufficient aforethought.

For police in Charleston, W.Va., said he took gadgets from his place of work and into a pawn shop called Kanawha Valley Fine Jewelry and Loan. (Motto: “All Loans Confidential!”)

You might imagine that the Kanawha County Schools, where Cochran worked, might have noticed that the computers had apparently been teleported from their place.

However, as the Charleston Daily Mail reports, Cochran’s alleged scheme was successful for some time.
