Man Breaks Into Home to Print Counterfeit Money on Ink-jet Printer

Counterfeit 100-dollar bill
Thieves usually gather as many valuable goods as he/she can and get out the door as quickly as possible. Stopping to use the computer would be a big no-no. But, of course, we wouldn't be writing about this if someone didn't get caught.

Charles Nobles was taken in by police in Louisiana after breaking into a home and trying to use his victim's computer to print out counterfeit bills. Nobles broke into the home after parking his van in the woods behind the dwelling in broad daylight. Police received a call about a suspicious vehicle at 1:00pm and and immediately converged on the home, where Nobles was found printing American currency on the home owner's ink-jet printer. Nobles was arrested and is being charged with counterfeiting, unauthorized entry of an inhabited dwelling, and probation violation.

Even if Nobles had gotten away with breaking in and printing the cash, he would have been caught the moment he tried to spend his new-found fake wealth. We're sure he wasn't carrying special paper designed to feel like money around with him, and your average ink-jet sure isn't going to print a very convincing dollar.
