Ok, we always hear about those "so-stupid-it's-hillarious" crimes. If you know a good one share it here.
Quote:A man from the town of Grand Forks, North Dakota, decided to travel to Fargo so that he could rob the First Community Bank. The criminal quickly scribbled a note demanding money and gave it to the teller. Frightened, she gave the man what he asked for and watched him run out of the door. Police were called and searches of the surrounding area turned up nothing. Upon reviewing the ransom note, it was noted that the message had been written on the perpetrator's bank deposit slip. Police traveled to the man's house and arrested him on his front porch.
Quote:Arizona A company called "Guns For Hire" stages gunfights for Western movies and other events. One day, a middle-aged woman called to inquire if they could kill her husband. She was sentenced to four and a half years.
Quote:Pensacola, Florida A man robs a motel late at night and then proceeds to run into the nearby woods. The clerk called the police and upon arriving they started to search the woods. Since it was pitch black that night they figured they would never catch the perpetrator until one of them noticed flashing red lights. The robber was wearing a pair of sneakers that have the flashing lights when he steps.
Find some more and come back and share them with us.
Gotta just love the
stupid criminals!!!
If I find any, I will share.
I remeber when I moved to Houston in the late 70's I was accompanied to the crime of misdemeanor murder, I wife who stabbed her husband to death in the apartment parking lot. Of course, he deserved it. Or how about the convience store that was robbed with a 1) snake 2) cactus.
Or more recently the guy who scoped out the store first and got a six pack of beer to kinda blend you know. Went to the register and told the guy to empty out the register for him and put the beer in a sack. The attendant told him he would have to give him ID for the beer and he complied!
One of my favorites jerks did whatever in LA and then engaged the LAPD in a chase all the way onto I-5 South where they picked up a bevy of CHPs these guys drove all the way to Tijuana and crashed through the gates where the Tijuana police were waiting for them. All was on camera of course. The first thing the two guys asked was we want to hear our Miranda Rights and we want a lawyer, the Mexican police just laughed.
Just heard one on the news last night, though I didn't catch where it happened. At any rate, the bad guy got in a woman's car and forced her at gunpoint to drive to her bank. There he sent her into the bank to withdraw all her money while he waited in the car. She, of course, went in to the bank, told them what was happening and the police came and took him away.
Wonder if he realized exactly what his mistake was?
I love this kind of story. Among my favorites are the idiot bankrobber who foiled his own getaway by locking his keys in his car, and the goof who decided to rob a busy bar, which that particular evening was hosting a benefit for the local police department's Youth Activity League. One night not long ago, a couple geniouses held up a small business not far rom where I live, taking a paltry amount of money, a few retail items, and a cellphone which belonged to an employee of the robbed business. The desperadoes fled into the woods barely ahead of the police responding to the silent alarm, and managed to evade capture ... for a few hours. They became lost in the night time woods, and ... you guessed it ... used the stolen cellphone to call 911 for help. Their "rescue" was accomplished in short order.
