Being a stupid criminal ought to be a crime

[Stinky The Clown]

A local Toyz R Us store was robbed. Turns out it was an inside job. Surveillance video shows the robber being kissed by a store employee immediately before he entered the store to rob it.

She was nabbed at the store. He remains at large.

1. My favorite story like this was years ago - Marvin Barnes was a star

basketball player from Providence College - really troubled fellow, drugs, etc - so he carried out a robbery, and was wearing his jacket with the school name...and his name! Needless to say, he was caught rather quickly.

A very sad story, really - all the talent in the world, made the pros got a good contract, but ended up wasting it all...wound up homeless living in California in the 1980s.

2. Sounds like a candidate for Tru TV's "World's Dumbest Criminals"

Which I happened to watch earlier this evening. It featured:

a DUI suspect who asked to unhandcuffed long enough to scratch his crotch

a man who ran his car through the window of a liquor store, grabbed some booze, drove out, and was tracked down by the trail of broken glass

a trio of guys on a beer run, one of whom fell out of the getaway pickup truck

a woman who literally lost her shirt trying to dive into a cash register, and returned to the scene of the crime rather than go topless

a man who was let off a warning for being four miles over the speed limit, but gave the cops permission to search his car, resulting in them finding 10 pounds of pot!

:crazy:

He showed for over five years that one of the best methods to escape after robbing a bank was to take a bus.

5. I liked the one about...

a man who robbed a convenience store one snowy winter night. Police followed his footprints to his house down the street and arrested him.
