Police training facility not such a good burglary target

From the files of "Gee Whiz, Wasn't That a Bad Idea," our sister paper, The Contra Costa Times gives us this story of a robbery gone horribly wrong.

ANTIOCH -- Antioch police unwittingly surprised two hapless burglars Tuesday night when officers -- and their dogs -- arrived for a training exercise at an abandoned building where the pair were attempting to steal copper wire.

To the burglars' dismay, the officers arrived at 6:12 p.m. at the 40,000-square-foot building at 1700 West 4th St.
