Police in Georgia have located a stash of stolen loot, 80 television sets, stashed in the woods.
According to the cops, these TVs were stolen from a stopped freight train.
From CBS News:
Two men are facing charges in Georgia after police say they tried to hide dozens of TVs in the woods after stealing them from a train.
The City of Fairburn Police Department says their investigation began on the morning of Nov. 1, 2025, when they received a call reporting suspicious activity near the railroad tracks.
When officers got to the scene, they found a stopped train and dozens of boxes of TVs hidden down a slope in the nearby woods.
It wasn't exactly the crime of the century.
The two bozos managed to get the flatscreens off of the train and down the hill right beside the track. But that was as far as they got before the cops showed up.
After the cops located the stashed loot, they saw a van driving around nearby looking for a place to pull over.
At least one of the men in the vehicle had been arrested on charges connected with cargo thefts in the past, an officer said ...
Tommie Woods and Michael Finch were turned over to CSX Police, who are leading the criminal investigation. Both men are charged with second-degree burglary and cargo theft with a value of more than $1,500, jail records show. Woods was released on bond on Tuesday. Finch remains in custody.
They're in the hands of the railroad cops now. Soon they'll go to railroad court and then railroad jail.
Just kidding, they're going to go to real jail if convicted.
'This case is a strong example of how community awareness and coordinated policing lead to meaningful results,' said Chief of Police Anthony Bazydlo. 'A citizen's decision to speak up, combined with the swift work of our officers and the partnership with CSX Police, prevented significant loss and further criminal activity.'
Don't mess with CSX.
