There is an old cliché that crime does not pay, but sometimes you have to wonder. Of course, the intellect of the person committing the crime certainly needs to be taken into account!
Stupid Criminal Anecdotes
When it comes to crimes, there are types of designations in law. There are intentional acts committed with malice, crimes of passion, criminally negligent acts and so on. Alas, there has never been a section of law carved out for the truly stupid criminal. If you are ever feeling a bit down and lacking a little confidence, the following individuals should serve to give you a boost.
1. In a legendary episode, a man in New York City once walked into a police station to report a crime. Specifically, he wanted to make a complaint against a man who had sold him a defective product, claiming he had been defrauded. Much to the surprise of the police, the product was crack cocaine and the man had brought the defective product with him!
2. A man walked into a bank and nervously stood in line while waiting for an open window. When he approached the window, he slipped the clerk a note indicating he was robbing the bank. He wore not disguise of any sort. She filled the bag and the man left without incident. The police arrived at the scene and began investigating. Roughly 15 minutes later, the thief walked back into the bank and tried to deposit the cash he had just stolen into his personal account!
3. In a sick, but true, story, a man decided he need gas and couldn’t afford to buy any. Looking for a likely vehicle, he approached a motor home and started siphoning. A motor home, of course, has both a gasoline and sewage tank. You can guess the rest.
4. A woman had her purse snatched one day on a city street by a young man. A few weeks later, the police informed her that a man had been apprehended. The case proceed to trial and the woman sat to testify. As the prosecutor asked her question, he came to the common one wherein he asked the woman, “Is the person who did this in the room” The defendant raised his hand!
5. A man in Texas is stopped on a road late one night after driving erratically. The officer has him do all the physical tests for driving under the influence. He passes all of them perfectly and the officer is fairly amazed. She asks him to take one final test, the walk the line test. The man does it perfectly and then finishes with a little dance. The officer asked him if he always dances so well. The man responds, “No, only when I’m drunk!” Not only is this true, but a video of the event exists on the web.
At the end of the day, there are a lot of people committing a lot of serious crimes in society. Fortunately, a lot of them are lacking in intelligence.
