Premature Ransackulation (pun)

When Marie Lupe Cooley was looking through the newspaper one day and discovered a want ad for a position at her job that looked just like hers she became a little distraught.

Well, actually she snapped. She drove to the architectural firm she worked at and erased 7 years worth of drawings and blueprints, estimated to be worth 2.5 million dollars.

"She decided to mess up everything for everybody," Jacksonville Sheriff's Office spokesman Ken Jefferson told reporters. "She just sabotaged the entire business, thinking she was going to get axed."

When Steve Hutchins, the owner of the firm discovered everything missing he immediately knew it was Ms. Cooley. Not because he had planned on firing her, but because she was the only person besides himself who had access to the files.

Police arrested Cooley Monday evening and charged her with
causing greater than one thousand dollars damage to computer files (in nerd court?), which is a felony.

As for Cooley's job, the want ad wasn't targeted at her; it was for a position at Mr. Hutchins' wife's firm.

"Hello, I'm a damn fool"
