I would call this stupidity instead of insane or weird
Morons went on Dr Phil's show to brag about how much they made
from stealing 
Reminds me of something.....
Recently some local kids with too much time on their hands
placed some orange traffic cones across a road. They then hid in
one corner and laughed at all the cars that were forced to U-turn
suddenly in the middle of the road.
The thing is, one of them stupidly took pictures, displayed them
on her blog and bragged proudly at the illegal prank that they
pulled off.
One STOMP fella came across the blog, featured it on STOMP and
roasted her.... soon, EDMW (with their CSI teams) got into the
fray......
If you did something illegal and got away with it, then at least
don't be stupid enough to brag about it in the public domain with
an easy way of identifying you......
