Stupid Criminal Stories #6
Saturday, October 13th, 2007I’m amazed he thought a grocery store would have that much change on hand.

Stupid Criminal Stories #5
Thursday, September 27th, 2007Admittedly, this woman is not really a criminal, but she was charged with a crime. Just goes to show that people can be highly intelligent but not very smart. I’ve always wondered what would happen if I wore my “Han Shot First” t-shirt through an airport security checkpoint. There is a picture of the device here.

Stupid Criminal Stories #4
Tuesday, September 4th, 2007The thief who stole this briefcase should have checked the contents more carefully.
Stupid Criminal Stories #3
Monday, July 2nd, 2007It’s practically an urban legend—the robber who steals his victim’s car, only to be confounded by the stick shift. But I guess it actually happens sometimes.
Stupid Criminal Stories #2
Sunday, May 27th, 2007This female hitchhiker stole a car from a Good Samaritan, only to quickly lose control of the vehicle and crash it into some trees. Not wearing a seat belt (that being something low on the carjacker priority list) she was ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene. Guess this one qualifies for a Darwin Award.
Stupid Criminal Stories #1
Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007This man stole a Jeep from a dealership and then later tried to trade it in, to the same dealership.
