Tickets to the big game are had to come by.. Especially in a one trick pony town like Tuscaloosa, Alabama. If you can score some tickets to a UA game, you’re the man. If you steal some tickets to an Alabama game, you work for UPS.

Tuscaloosa Police investigators have charged three UPS workers with stealing University of Alabama football tickets and selling them to a ticket broker. The suspects worked in UPS’s warehouse and are accused of using fake address labels to divert the packages from their destinations.

What is the world coming to when you can’t trust some guys working in a warehouse? I’m glad to see the geniuses thought the plan all the way through.. No way they get caught for a stupid reason.

The scheme was uncovered when people who bought the stolen tickets arrived at the UA-Western Carolina season opener on Sept. 1 to find their seats already occupied.

Foolproof. Way to go fellas. Oh well, I’m sure there’s always work in the moonshinin’ biz.
