clueless criminals get even more stupid

Another story to add to the file on clueless criminals: In 2010, two men in Portland, Oregon went to a supermarket and started removing price tags from items and filling their backpacks with the loot. However they didn't even make it out of the store with their ill-gotten gains.

It seems that the would-be-crooks decided to do their shoplifting during a "Shop With a Cop" promotion, and there were 60 police officers already in the store---in uniform.
