Stupid Criminals

True Stories of Stupidity:

From London, England comes the story of Junior Adams who went into a liquor store along with three accomplices with a plan for pulling off a robbery. First step in the plan, Junior picked up a can of beer and presented it to the shopkeeper in a ploy to get him to open the register. Things started to go downhill from there, as his accomplices ransacked the shop, grabbing cash, phone cards and booze. In the confusion, Jumior lost his focus, fleeing the store and leaving behind his wallet, his cell phone and his can of beer with his fingerprints on it. He's been arrested.

In Woomera, Australia where two unidentified men escaped from the detention center there. The men fled on foot and after awhile they became tired so they headed over to the highway where they flagged down a bus. Not the best plan. It was an unmarked police bus. They got a free ride back to jail.

***************************

From Cleveland, Ohio comes the story of Jesus Ortega who had just pulled off a successful bank robbery. Now he was faced with the question of what to do with his cash. Three bags of it in small bills. He decided to go to another bank and open up a savings account. He slipped up when he told the teller he was homeless and unemployed and the cash was donated to him. The suspicious teller called the cops who identified him as the thief. As the cops were leading him out, he shouted back to the teller and asked her what interest rate he would be getting.

***************************

From Beverly, Massachusetts comes the story of Gregory Tarver who had printed up around $40,000 in counterfeit bills. He also had in his possession a device for cutting the sheets of cash into individual bills. Must be hard work, this counterfeiting, because poor Mr. Tarver was so tired that he fell asleep behind the wheel of his SUV while he was stopped at a red light. A police officer awakened Sleeping Beauty, noticed the bills and equipment in the back and our friend was busted.

The old phrase "The early bird catches the worm" doesn't always apply in the crime world. From Wiggins, Colorado comes the story of a thief who had a plan to rob a bright, shiny new ATM machine located in the entryway of the High Plains National Bank. He crashed his car through the front doors of the bank, in the process knocking the ATM over. He then went to work on the machine, prying it open. Much to his surprise there was no cash to be found inside. Not one bill. The newly installed ATM had not yet been loaded with cash. In fact, it hadn't even been plugged in yet. He left empty handed.

The reason criminals usuall are stupid because you have to be stupid to commit a crime in the first place. Stupid criminals get caught because the are stupid to begin with.
