Thread: Criminals can be highly entertaining...

...Especially the stupid ones!

I have seen a lot of stupid crook stories like when the crook is so stupid he leaves his home address and others.
The point of this thread is to share with us all a story of the stupidest crook.
Here is my first entry about a group of crooks:'Perfectly Executed Murders' -- But Suspects Failed to Turn Off Surveillance Camera - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News - FOXNews.com

I am sure you guys have some funny ones, so, give them up and let us all laugh!

What is it? Are you all a bunch of stupid criminals cleverly disguised as straight razor enthusiasts? Thats it! Thats why no one has replied yet. I have insulted the lot of you.

Someone has got to know a story.

Short one I've seen on the news some time ago.
Man in bank.
Since the clerks did not have access to the vault he grabbed
a pile of brochures for a savings plan from a desk
that were made up like giant 100 Euro notes.

Brilliant!!

All criminals who get caught are stupid. The ones who get away with it you never hear about. So you think all criminals are stupid and probably 95% are but the other 5% are career types who live to retire very nicely and never see the inside of a courtroom or jail. Smart crooks have it all figured and leave nothing to chance. Half stupid ones think they have it all figured out but are too stupid to realize all the stuff they have failed to consider.

So where is your stupid criminal story Mr Spendur?

I don;t have the BBC news report with the photo but I remember a great one some time last year where some guy decided to burgle a house where they'd (foolishly) left a ground floor window open a touch. It was one of the small ones above the main window, don't know what you call them.

Anyway, as he was climbing through the window he slipped backward and caught his belt on the window catch and was left hanging outside the window in full view of the street and couldn't get off!

He was hanging there a while with passers by pointing and laughing and taking photos until the police arrived and saved him from further embarrassment by cutting him down and taking him for a ride in their van!

This is the type of story I am talking about!

I have found the BBC report with photo. My memory was a bit lacking, he was hanging by his shoe laces!

FOX seems to have a lot of this stuff on there. I guess they know their market, Mark!
