Reminds me of a story:

So, I knew this bartender and one day I walked into his bar and I notice he's doing the books and growing visibly angry about it by the moment.

So, I asked him if he was okay.

"This goddamn bar! It's a fucking albatross around my neck! I'm losing money hand over fist"

I thought about it for a moment. "Gee...sounds like you ought to torch the place and collect on the insurance."

Two weeks later, scanning the local paper, I notice there was a byline that a certain bar burned to the ground. Arson investigators couldn't find anything proving it was arson - concluded it was an electrical fire.

It could very well be a coincidence, right?
