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.

    • Sound Booster 1.13 Build 575 by Razvan Serea Increase volume on your laptop. Boost the volume of even very quiet speakers. Raise volume above maximum. Letasoft Sound Booster can be used as an extra amplifier when the volume of the program you are listening to is too low for comfortable listening and you feel that your PC’s speakers can produce a louder sound. This can be the case when the audio or video has been recorded at the level below normal. Or, for example, when the other person’s microphone you are talking to on Skype, is not working properly. There can be a plenty of other reasons why the sound is being too quiet and there is not much you can do about it except buy external speakers. Sound of any application that is being played in the system can be amplified up to 500%. Letasoft Sound Booster can raise volume of programs like web browsers, on-line communication software (Teams, Discord, Zoom), any kind of media player or games. Simply put, volume of virtually any program that can play any sound in PC, can be boosted to a comfortable level with Letasoft Sound Booster. You can control current volume with the pop-up slider from the system tray. Alternatively, you can assign system-wide hot keys for increasing and decreasing, and use them when you need to adjust volume Letasoft Sound Booster constantly monitors current gain level and prevents samples from clipping, thus reducing all major sound distortions.

    • I own these and the normal QuietComfort ones from Bose. The QC are amazing and I want to love these, but for the life of me, I have a terrible time getting them attached to my ears.
    • Thanks for the tip. I am giving it a try. Initial quick impression: I like it.
