What not to do after a robbery

[marval]

I found the following story on the internet.

It just makes you wonder what the man was thinking (or not.)


Three days after stealing a rare collection of coins, a thief in Germany took them to the bank for safe keeping - and delivered them into the hands of the man he had robbed.
Soon after the deposit, a bank worker handling the coins recognised them as the set worth around £40,000 that had been stolen from his house.
Police tracked down the 36-year-old suspect and arrested him, finding a haul of other stolen goods in the process.

And to think ... according to Darwin, these same people also pro-create ...

I live in a town where people make the same stupid mistakes again
and again. Makes me wonder if they would ever learn from it.

Here's another stupid robber story.


Colorado Springs: A guy walked into a little corner store with a shot gun and demanded all the cash from the cash drawer. After the cashier put the cash in a bag, the robber saw a bottle of scotch that he wanted behind the counter on the shelf.

He told the cashier to put it in the bag as well, but he refused and said "Because I don't believe you are over 21." The robber said he was, but the clerk still refused to give it to him because he didn't believe him.

At this point the robber took his drivers license out of his wallet and gave it to the clerk. The clerk looked it over, and agreed that the man was in fact over 21 and he put the scotch in the bag. The robber then ran from the store with his loot.

The cashier promptly called the police and gave the name and address of the robber that he got off the license. They arrested the robber two hours later.

And in case you thought they were the only ones.


Robbery suspect poses for photo.

Police had no trouble tracking down a Pennsylvania robbery suspect, after he posed for a photo with his victims shortly before stealing their handbags.

The suspect struck up a conversation with a group of women at a hen party. They were taking photos of each other when he jumped in front of the camera.

When two of the group left he robbed them, apparently not recognising his victims as those he had posed with earlier.


Makes you sleep safer in your beds knowing that the idiots are in jail, because they are idiots.

Ms. Margaret :tiphat::clap::banana::trp::smash::banghead::lol::lol::lol::lol:

One would almost say: Some people deserve to get caught right away. Stupidity has no rank.

 

[marval]

Hi Intet

They do deserve to be caught, they should also find their brain. It seems they leave it at home when they go out.

[Muza]

I think you are wrong Margaret. U see, by saying that they leave a brain at home when they go out, you are implying that they do indeed have a brain. I think its just a hollow space with a little dust (its amazing how scientists could confuse that with grey matter )

 

[Contratrombone64]

The Irish have a delightful saying for such an one:

He's a bloody eejit.

Dear Intet,

You said that stupidity has no rank - well, I digress most furiously - Stupidity has the rank of Vice Admiral Virtuoso and nomenclature of Corno Dolce :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

I think we all live in that same town no matter where it is that we call "home". :nut:

Dear Intet,

My dear Oceanian Magician and friend sir Vice Admiral Virtuoso, Corno Dolce :tiphat::clap::banana::trp::lol::lol::lol::lol:

You almost had me walk out the plank on this one. After I have purchased this new brick-sized English/Danish dictionary to keep up with you and Master Krummhorn´s many strange English words (to me, the stupid Dane) I entered at the letter N - frightend deep in my soul that I could not find the word nomenclature.

Fortunately for me my new love in my life suggested to me: Why don´t you wear your new spectacles. Very embarrassing since these new spectacles cost me half the price of a F16 aircraft. So when first having put the new spectacled on, I saw I had not entered under the letter N but instead M.

Incredible what a woman can make me invest in.

So it all came to a happy ending.

Corno Dolce, you are both a very funny guy and a very wise guy, though I do not always agree with you. Of course it does help, when I can actually spell the words you provide for me - right :grin:.

 

[Corno Dolce]

Dear Intet,

I never expect people to always agree with me - thats what makes dialogue fun 99.97% of the time. I know that I can be a real SOB and as cussed and ornery as a mule.

Cheers,

The stupidy goes on.

Thief's bare-faced cheek

A man who ram-raided a supermarket wearing only a sheet and a pair of his girlfriend's designer boots, has been jailed for four years.

David Ball, 32, was arrested shortly after his buttocks were caught on CCTV cameras at the store, Birmingham Crown Court heard.

The drunken thief, who escaped with cigarettes from the Co-op branch in Balsall Common, near Solihull, stole his girlfriend's Renault Clio from her driveway to smash through the store's security shutters.

Judy - sadly you are spot on. The capacity for people to be complete morons is astounding.

 

[Corno Dolce]

Dear CT64,

"The capacity for people to be complete morons" - Yes sir, you just described me to a tee :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Amicably,

Oh no CD say not so.

Not a moron at all I am sure.
