rosalie52 Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Burglars are strange sometimes. Quebec is the proud home of some of the stupidest burglars of the world. Those burglars took the time to do their laundry in the house they were robbing...They even had supper. When the owner of the house, on vacation in Dominican Republic, called home to leave a message on the answering machine, one of the burglars answered and identified himself. The guy was so drunk and stone, he forgot he wasn't in his own house. The owner called the police and the police found a bunch of clowns in underwear, partying for two days.

Kubby31 Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I remember watching a story...America's dumbest criminals,or something along those lines. A guy robbed a corner store...and steals all the lotto scratch tickets on the way out......police arrives,goes into the store...the cashier tells the cop that the fellow is around the side of the store. He was scratching the tickets as the cop proceeded to arrest him.(bag full of money with him) The officer said that in all his yrs as a police officer,he never came across a dumb one like this....robs a store & hangs around to scratch lotto tickets....easiest catch I ever had,says the cop.

Fanpuck33 Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 One of my favorites is when the cops ran a sting in front of a known drug dealer's house. They'd already arrested the guy, but decided to take down as many buyers as they could as well. People would come up to the front of the house and ask the cops (wearing DEA jackets) where they could find the dealer. Cops told them he was out in the back yard, where the buyers would try to buy and get arrested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANADIENS27 Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 There's the crook who returned to the store he robbed to ask for directions to the town he wanted to go to. He had taken off in the wrong direction and then ran out of gas and steals another car. That car broke down near a hotel or restaurant and then he calls a cab. The cab driver didn't know the directions either. They would end up at the very convenience store he robbed. This was in South Carolina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clues Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 haha I have a book called The World's Dumbest Criminals. One of my favourite stories being: A group of American College students on an archeological summer study program in Italy were having the time of their lives. During the day they dug and sifted throught the fine Tuscan soil, uncovering Roman relics; at night they collapsed exhausted under the stars. Some evenings, though, they visited a restaurant in a nearby village to enjoy sumptuos seven-course dinners of pasta, fish, chicken, beef, and of course, wine. On one such evening, while the college kids were safely settled at Mama Dominici's restaurant, a drifter wandered into their dig. He helped himself to food, CD players, radios and clothes, packed everything into a stolen backpack, and made off into the night. Actually, he stumbled into the night, falling several times in the moonless evening before giving up and deciding to wait until daylight. The college kids returned to their camp too tired and tipsy to notice that they had been robbed; they all just crawled into their sleeping bags and started snoring. But the next morning one of the boys went for his toothbrush and realised his whole backpack was missing. He woke up his friends, and they were making an inventory of missing items when they heard a series of blood-curdling screams from nearby in the woods. They seemed to be coming from an animal in painm and they would not stop. The howling came closer and closer. Then they sae him. The drifter was stumbling into trees and bushes, clutching his throat and screaming while flames shot out of his mouth! Yep, his mouth was on fire. He ran blindly into camp, collapsed to his knees, and plunged his whole head into the water bucket. His screams gurgled to a stop. Then he jerked his head up, gasped for air, and spat before plunging his head back under. While some of the students attended to the fire-breathing drifter, two of the boys retraced his steps. Within moments they found the stolen backpack with the missing items. Lying together on the ground were a toothbrush, a pack of cigarettes, a toothpaste-like tube, and a lighter. When one boy picked up the tube, he solved the mystery. Back in camp, they told the others what they assumed had happened. The drifter has awakened and rummaged through the backpack to find a toothbrush and what he thought was toothpaste. The tube actually contained Liquid Fire, a flammable paste used to start campfires. After his giving his teeth a good brushing with it, the drifter had then decided to have his first smoke of the day - with dramatic and incendiary results.

Clues Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 great stuff Clues Another one of my favourites: A man suspected of robbing a jewelry store in Liège was arrested, booked, and arraigned for trial, all the while protesting that he was innocent. Finally, his day in court arrived, and the man had a chance to prove his claim. To everyone's astonishment, he produced an ironclad alibi, which police later confirmed: "Your honor, I could not have robbed that jewelry store because at that time on that day, I was breaking into a school across town." You know what happened next. Police arrested him for breaking into the school. How stupid can you be? Geez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds to me like he essentially got felony charges dropped by admitting to a misdemeanor. That's a good trade off if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonave Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Everyone should read the Darwin Awards. Its about people who die in amazingly (and impressive) ways. For example: 4 guys found an old landmine and played Russian roulette stomping on it A girl running off a cliff chasing a falling feather someone giving an 2-month constipated elephant too much laxitive and an enima and being crushed by its massive load. This is the ultimate handbook on survival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habsfanfla Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Had a good story down here in Florida this week...the Police pulled a guy over for speeding and notice a strong smell of marijuana when the guy rolled down his window, they got him out of the car and he admitted to a very small amount of the drug being in the car on the passenger seat. They found it and began to frisk him when they notice a bulge in the back of his pants, he had a large bag of weed hidden in his underwear. The police took the bag and began to frisk him again when the felt another bag in the back of his pants, this bag contained a few ounces of crack cocaine, the suspect then told police that the marijuana was his but he had no idea who owned the cocaine that was in his underwear!!!

CANADIENS27 Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 This actually appeared last Friday on ESPN's Not Top Ten Plays. After seeing it again yesterday on the local news, I thought why should this thread be limited to the "crooks are stupid file." At a track meet in China in the 100 meter hurdles, the runner in Lane 7 ( maybe it was 8) missed the first two hurdles, then he decided he wasn't a hurdler after all and began running through the hurdles. That's right, through them and began smashing the next five or six and then went to the lane to his immdiate left and tripped over another hurdle. He then got up and proceeded to smash the remaining hurdles before crossing the finish line in his own lane. Maybe someone can dig up the video.
