Prove that my answer is incorrect!

[The_Crusade]

The criminal doesn't have mind powers. Also that's not the given answer.

[flamingdragon]

You didn't say the criminal didn't have mind powers in the riddle. 

[The_Crusade]

Let's see if Dodger can get it.

[Dodger]

I don't know. I reckon it's a play on words in the riddle somehow.

[The_Crusade]

Nope. This was actually taken from a true story, according to the source.

[flamingdragon]

The man sent a trained pigeon ( or other bird) to retrieve the diamond. 

(The owl saying kthxbye led me to the conclusion that Bakster was giving a hint.)

[The_Crusade]

No, you just researched it on the basis it was a true story and used that excuse...

Anyway that is correct.

[flamingdragon]

I so did not!

You were practically throwing an owl into my face, TWICE. I obviously found the answer with it right in fromt of me.

[The_Crusade]

Your riddle.

[flamingdragon]

'Tis golden in color,
yet unlike its brothers,
the longer you keep it,
the more you suffer,
do not make a blunder,
you must cast it asunder,
or darkness will come,
to reclaim it's prize,
however you may still yet choose,
to join its side,
what am I?

[ownage]

uhhh by any chance is it a certain ring from lord of the rings?

other then that all i can think of is greed

[flamingdragon]

What?
It took them 3 days to get that one on a RIDDLE FORUM.
You got it on your second post on a dead forum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Job. 

[ownage]

to be honest the only thing that didnt point to greed was the color and the side switching part,im not to good with riddles so feel free to go ahead

There are four brothers in this world that were all born together:
The first he runs and never wearies,
The second eats and is never full.
The third he drinks and is ever thirsty,
And the fourth sings a song that is never good. 
Who are we?
