Whoa, these comments are triggering some memories.

Sept. 30, in 1961, dozens of disgraced Denver cops were hauled to jail in a paddy wagon for running a massive police burglary ring. Denver's burglars in blue cased their jobs from police cruisers and returned at night to steal while lookouts monitored the police radios. The same policemen returned to investigate the crime and destroy the evidence. The ring was exposed after a 300-pound safe tumbled out of a getaway car owned by patrolman Art Winstanley, 24. His arrest and confession pulled back the curtain on a scandal that earned Denver the title "Crooked-cop capital of the United States."
