Theft may be a common crime, but pinching a handbag or a wallet is so last year.

Let me ask you this instead.

How would you go about swiping an entire beach, an iconic historical body part or $50,000 worth of prized bull semen?

Believe it or not, these are just some of the dangerous strange and downright dumb things people have stolen.

plan was eventually foiled when police intercepted a large refrigerated truck in the capital of Santiago

and discovered an estimated $4,900 worth of illicit ice squirreled away inside. Apparently, the anonymous

man had intended to cut the frozen blocks down into designer ice cubes,

but you have to admire this thief's sheer tenacity. Next up, you might think you have a sweet tooth,

but until you've been apprehended by the authorities for a merciless tirade, which involves stealing
