Faux IRS Agents Burglarize House

Paul Caron
,

From today's Web CPA: 

Two thieves claiming to be IRS agents stole property from a North Carolina home and then encouraged the neighbors to rip off the house too.

This interesting tidbit came from the Statesville Record & Landmark over the weekend, and quite a prank it must have been. The IRS impersonators made off with a weed trimmer, chain saw, jewelry and a utility trailer. Some of the neighbors carted away furniture, food and other items from the home before police arrived at the scene and made them return the loot.
