    I like those shows that show these stupid theifs. My two favorites are one guy heard that lemon juice distorted video cameras. So instead of putting lemon juice on the camera, he put it on his face. He was promptly caught. Another guy tried to break into some building by throwing a brick through the window. What he didn't realize was that the window was plecksy glass (I have not idea how to spell it, you know though, the glass that surrounds hockey rinks)and the brick bounced right off it and hit him in the face and knocked him out.

    Thanks interstatepawnllc, I don't mind if you correct me. At least now I'll always remember how to spell it.

    This one was years ago, before these stories were making the news. A LEO that was a friend told me about it.A couple had just got into town and did not have any money. They robbed a little store, drove down the street to the first motel and rented a room. It was pretty easy to find them because it was, 2 a.m., winter time, and snowing. They just followed the tire tracks in the snow right to the car. LOL

    If I knew then, what I know now.

    When I had worked for a contstruction company our storage shed was robbed. Two days later the stupid crook comes in the office and wants to sell us portable power tools in his van that he must sell to settle a support claim. The boss called the cops as I inventoried all our stolen equipment in his van. The police arrived and came in the back. We agreed on a price for the loot, $250 for $3,500+ worth of equipment, and went back inside where the police were waiting. The crook quickly changed his story and said that he found the equipment along the road and was simply returning it to us for a reward. That was the first time I saw a cop laugh till he almost cried.

    was working on a rock crusher many years ago & some * stole 10 sticks of powder, chopped them into 6" pieces & was trying to sell them as bombs.
    this clown had also stolen a roll of fuse, which he had cut into 6" pieces & duct-taped to the dynamite.(no primers)
    i think even the cops got a little chuckle out of that.

    Personal true story:
    Chased a stolen vehicle till he went up a 5% grade and I couldn't keep up and lost him (patrol cars were gutless). An hour later found the car parked. It had been raining previously and the ground was good and wet.
    You are way ahead of me. Followed tracks to mobile home, went inside mobile home, followed tracks to a bed. There was a man in the bed feining sleep. Beside the bed were wet and muddy shoes. Arrested the man and his clothing was wet and his pants were muddy, but he claimed to have been home in bed all night.
    Car retured to owner, crook went to jail.

    Another true story....

    Chased a burglary suspect who was spotted leaving the scene. He ditched his car on a county road and ran off into the woods, but left his identification in the car. Also was caught on video in the convenience store he burglarized. The car was stolen, with a mounted set of plates stolen off another vehicle and two more sets of stolen plates in the trunk. The next day, when he realized he had left his i.d. in the car, he came to the sheriff's department to report that his stolen car had been...stolen.

    True Story....A former client we had on Probation for many years was obsessed with the idea of becoming an LEO. In spite of multiple felony convictions and a couple of short stints in prison, he was certain he was a prime candidate. He of course was turned down and laughed out of a few interviews over the years. But never the less kept trying.

    A few years went by and he was convicted yet again of another felony and was sentenced to the Department of Corrections for a few years. Shortly after his release from prison he changed his name and headed to the local State Police headquarters and started the application
    process. As he filled out the information, an initial background check revealed he had several warrants out for him and off to jail he went.

    He told me later that he figured if he changed his name then they could not use the crimes he committed against him when he was someone
    else....

    A few years ago a guy robs Mcdonalds at gun point. He tells the server to put the cash in a Mcdonalds bag. Since he robbed them at noon time the place is busy, and he is constantly looking around eyeballing people to keep them back. Finally grabs the bag on the counter and leaves the resturant. When he gets home he opens the bag and discovers its filled with burgers and fries. Now he's mad. He goes back to the resturant and finds the police already there and dozens of witnesses that point him out. He is captured quickly.

    Judging by these stories, it's easy to see why they are living a life of crime. They're too dumb to work!
