Hi Y'all. On this Blog, I plan to put posts related to stupid criminals. I am interested in them right now. Here are a few of my favorite stories about stupid criminals.
1.)A 16 year old in New Haven, Connecticut, attempted to force his way into a house and became stuck in the window grating.He had removed two bolts from the bars around a first floor window and had started crawling though. One of the bars snapped back and trapped him. Halfway in and out, he managed to reach the telephone and call 911.He asked if someone would please come and rescue him.As he was led away by the officers,he muttered,"I'm embarrassed. This is my first burglary."
2.)A couple in New Jersey had a gun, but they were not trying to hold up Macy's!They tried to hold up a bookstore! The assistant librarian convinced them that they had only a few coins from overdue library books."Looks like we picked the wrong place to rob," the woman said to her companion.
Thirty minutes later they were arrested reading magazines in front of the library.
3.)Food was steadily disappearing from a warehouse in Czechoslovakia. After $120,000 worth of munchies had vanished, suspicion centered on the warehouse supervisor.He had ballooned to 506 pounds.
The judge put him on a 12 year diet of prison chow.
These stories are all from Encyclopedia Brown's book of Strange but True Crimes.Check it out.
