Thieves Break Into Prison To Steal A TV

Most sane people, like you and me, do all we can to avoid prison. Not these idiots in New Zealand though, who broke into prison to steal a 50-inch plasma TV.

The numbnuts set some drapes in an administrative building on fire and that’s when police realised the New Plymouth Prison, a minimum to high security prison, had been broken into. The only thing the police found missing was the TV. I guess the robbers, who took away on foot, didn’t want to bother with the bolted down furniture and prison garb. [Stuff.co.nz]

    So… if they’re arrested, put them in a different prison, yes?

    WhyTF do prisoners get something that most of us cant even afford. prison in australia (and obviously NZ) is a joke. they’re meant to be PUNISHED in there

      Totally Agree. We can only hope it was used to play re-runs of Jersey Shore, exclusively.(I had to google ‘worst TV show ever’ for this).

      I somehow doubt that they all have 50-inch plasmas in their cells. Also, sounds like these idiots broke into an administration building, the actual cells.

      I’m curious. You assert that “most of us cant even afford” a 50-inch plasma. How do you know this?

    Eh. EDIT: “the actual cells.” == “NOT the actual cells.”
