Can’t find time to set up a safety deposit box? Good news: If a thief steals valuables from your house, they might bring them to the bank for you.

In a display of mind-boggling counter-intuitiveness, a burglar who stole a rare collection of coins from a mark’s house decided that the best place for the $80,000 in goods was in a bank. After arriving at the nearby institution, he deposited the cache directly into the hands of the man he had robbed.

Ouch. We have to feel kind of sorry for the guy — storing valuables at a bank, even if they’re not yours, is usually a wise move — but he was clearly destined to be caught. At least his head was in the right place. Sort of.

However, instead of hitting that under-the-counter panic button bank tellers always go for in the movies, the coin-owner turned bank-employee waited to take down the thief’s name, date of birth, and most importantly, his address.

Berlin police quickly tracked down the thief and arrested him, finding a massive cache of other stolen goods at his apartment.
