I think I heard this story wayback though it's just bubbled up in my memory this week.
A couple who live in a nice house get a letter telling them that they've won theatre tickets as a prize in a competition.
They don't remember entering the competition but figure they maybe forgot, or maybe they know they didn't but they decide to take advantage of the tickets anyway.
When they use their tickets, they come home from the theatre to discover they've been burgled.
Technically plausible as a strategy, seems to me like a lot of outlay though, esp. as some tickets would get sold or given away.
Anyone ever hear this one? Or of it happening?
