#19 Well, They Sure Weren’t Engineering Majors
A bunch of guys got tipsy and decided to steal the ice machine from a nearby motel. They broke off the water line and threw it in the back of a truck, thinking that they were going to bring it back to the dorm and have free ice. Then, they realized they would have no way to run water into it, so they drove to a rock quarry and threw it off a cliff.
I was woken up by the police who had tracked the guys to their dorm in a matter of a few hours. I had to drag the guy with the truck out to talk to the cop. He immediately ratted out everyone who was with him. The cops told him the motel owner didn’t want to press charges if they’d return his ice maker. They worked out a payment plan.
