Alex: Welcome back to the show where we prove that common sense isn't actually that common. I’m your host, Alex.
Sam (Samantha): And I’m Sam. Honestly, Alex, it's hard to believe these two stories really happened.
Alex: Right? Let’s dive into our first "Criminal Mastermind." We’ve got 22-year-old Joe Spencer. Now, Joe is a man who values efficiency. He’s a busy guy! He doesn’t have time to wait in line at the bank like a common peasant.
Sam: So this guy actually calls in his order to the bank.
Alex: Exactly, he phoned the bank to place an order for—and I quote—"$100,000 in large bills." He told them to put it in a bag and place it by the door.
Sam: So, as prank, the manager filled a bag with copy paper and ... a giant red-dye pack.
Alex: Joe arrives and the bag is by the door, but so are several security guards with their guns drawn. Joe realizes he’s cooked, drops his weapon, but—and this is my favorite part—he still grabs the bag on his way out.
Sam: And when he spins around to leave, the dye pack explodes all over him.
Alex: Talk about caught red-handed. Literally. Red-faced, red-handed, red-everything.
Sam: So Joe was arrested and taken away, and that brings us to our second story: Two drug dealers taking a joyride in a stolen car.
Alex: Already off to a great start.
Sam: They get pulled over for speeding. But the officer looks in the back seat and sees a bag ... and get this ... it was actually labeled "Bag Full of Drugs."
Alex: Of course, the officer asks, is that a bag full of drugs? And when they denied it he asked for the bag.
Sam: The dealers refused, saying he needed a warrant, but the officer pointed out the "Plain Sight" rule. As in, "I can plainly see the words 'Bag Full of Drugs.'"
Alex: Turns out, it was indeed a bag full of drugs.
Sam: Needless to say, they are now serving time for car theft and intent to distribute.
Alex: That’s it for us today! Stay safe out there, and remember: if you’re planning a heist, maybe don't put it on the calendar.
