Buried Treasure Bandits

Today we meet Barry Billcliff, 27, of Manchester, New Hampshire, and Timothy Crebase, 22, of Methuen, Massachusetts (Dead link, see below).  Here's my rough guess at the conversation that lead up to their arrest:

TC: Dude, roofing this house isn't paying us enough.  Lets just steal these old coins and money while we're here!
BB: Yeah, we can pretend we dug it up like buried treasure in the backyard!
TC: That's cool!  We'll be like famous and stuff.
BB: Yeah, who'll ever know we stole it.
TC: Yeah.

Ordinarily an entry such as this would have likely faded into history and that dead link above would have remained just that.  But this one is no longer ordinary!  Let's start with a better and fresher link of the story.  And then we have the comment below, allegedly from Barry himself!  You might need to read it a couple of times though being literacy apparently isn't Barry's forte.  Let's hope he's a better roofer.  As for addressing his comments, I'll take that that up below (when I have the time).  Welcome back to the limelight Barry!  You should have just let the sleeping dog lie.  ;)

    the money was not found on a job dumb ass roofing pays just fine, why else wood anyone in their right mind do it? i don't drink the media prints whatever they feel will sell, regardless of truth there were no coins why would you start mocking me and adding to the fire? we found a hoard that would make us set for life, and fix all the problems in our lives as well as the ones around us.  The Methuen p.d. flipped everything upside down just to steel our thunder, calling us thieves, stupid, etc.  and the media ate it up.  what would you do? don't jump to conclusions, wait till all is said and done, and see who is left holding the bag... of loot.

    Redneck: wood Correct: would

    Redneck: i don't drink the media prints.. Correct: i don't think the media prints..

    Redneck: p.d. Correct: The ones that arrested you!!

    Redneck: steel our thunder Correct: steal our thunder

    Summing things up: Well you are a thief and you are stupid (your english proves it)

    When all is said and done, the only bag you will be holding is your cellmates bag in your mouth...
