Here's some really dumb things that people have done. I also got these from Netscape. These are all true!
An uniform burgler who stole a 300-year-old violin, returned it to its owner's door in Munich, Germany, with a note complaining that it was out of tune. The violin was worth $80,000. While lightening the load of a security van by 160,000 in May 1995, two robbers in Arlington, Texas, foolishly ignored the 23 Japanese tourists nearby. Although none of the visitors spoke English, they silently handed the police 39 pictures of the getaway car's license plate. The men were arrested soon after. A purse snatcher ended up in the hospital when he tried to rob two women in the streets of Nice, France. The victims were burley transvestites who beat him up and left him with broken ribs. A Thai man was arrested in Bangkok charged with impersoning a police officer. Using a stolen uniform, he spent two months posing as a traffic cop in order to extort money from motorists. The trickster finally came unstuck when a senior officer passed by on an inspection tour and he saluted with the wrong hand. More later. |

Yeah. I saw that. He had to have been drunk or high or mentally unstable or something. What person in theyre right mind would do that? Anyway, I guess I'll look up some more. I dont wanna keep my fans waiting.
A girl went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco. She asked for minimal lettuce. The individual behind the counter said he was sorry, they only had Iceberg. When a couple arrived to pick up their car, they were told the keys had been locked inside. They found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver's side door. The couple tried the passanger side door handle and it was unlocked. They announced "It's open!" The mechanic replied "I know - I already got that side." A student in Belle, West Virginia was suspended for three days for giving a classmate a cough drop. The school principal retired the school's "zero-tollerance" policy. A 9-year-old boy in Manassas, Virginia recieved a one-day suspension under his elementary school's policy - for Certs. The young boy allegidly told a classmate that the mints would make him "jump higher." More than 600 people in Italy wanted to ride in a spaceship badly enough to pay $10,000 for the first tourist flight to Mars. According to police, the would-be space travelers were told of "...ruined temples and painted deserts. Ride a Martian camel..." Authorities believe that the con men made off with over $6 million. In Detroit, a young man approached patrol officers who were showing their felon-location equipment to kids. He asked how the system worked and the officer asked for an ID. The young man gave them his drivers license, they entered it into the computer, and moments later arrested him because the computer showed he was wanted for armed robbery. Thats it for now. Dont wanna use all of them at once. More tomorrow. |

Here are a couple i remember reading in a mag.
1) Two robbers decided to rob a store one night and were found pretty easily since they didnt have any masks or anything, and smiled directly into the camera's. When found and questioned it came out that they thought they were invisble to the camera becase they covered themselves in lemon juice. 2) A woman was caught trying to steal over 10 kg's of meat from a supermarket. She would have gotten away with it, if she had not fainted from the air-conditioning and the cold meat she had tucked into the pants. When the shop assisstants went to see if she was alright they found all the meat. 3) One guy robbed a store one night, he was found pretty easily becuase upon noticing that they upholstery was quite crap he left his business card and told them to give him a call to help. 4) After robbing a store, one smart robber left his resumé behind to see if he could get a job there. 5) A store had been robbed about 5 times in the last month, every time the crooks would smash the big glass window and run off with televisions etc. So the owner decided to install some flexi-glass. One night another robber returned with a cinder-block and ran up and launched it into the window. Needless to say it bounced back and clocked him in the head, knockin him unconscious for about 10 minutes or so. Finally awakening, he was picked up by police at a near-by hospital. The cops had seen the entire thing on a security camera just across the road. |
