This has got to be the newest Darwin Award. Heard on the tube this eve that some guy in Muncie, Indiana held up a store. He gave the clerk a note that said gimme your loot and you won't get shot, or something like that. Well, it seems the bad guy wrote the note on the back of his OWN ATM receipt. He took the loot, left the note and it didn't take long for the police to track him down. Smart guy!!!

That's like the guy who robbed a convenience store while wearing his work uniform. On his cap and shirt was his, and his company's name.

Or the two guys in Memphis that raided a construction site and stole a tailer. The hooked the trailer to their pickup and headed home. On the way out of the site lot a 5 gallon bucket of paint tipped over and left a really nice bright yellow trail right to their home.

Follow The Yellow Brick Road was the newspaper headline. :)

I like the one where a guy goes into a McDonalds with a ski mask on tells the cashier he wants all the money in her register. She gives it to him he takes it and he leaves. The next day he comes back in with the ski mask on and tells the same cashier at the same register to give him all the money in her register. She says but I gave you all the money yesterday. He says yeah that's right. Takes off the ski mask and orders 2 Big Macs to go.

I read that in one of those World's Dumbest Criminals Books. There was another about a guy that got arrested for robbing vending machines and then tried to pay his bail in 400 dollars worth of quaters.

Re: no, no, this is the best.

On the news last evening they reported about a guy in Kokomo, IN who held up a convenience store. He got the loot in the bag, stuffed the gun in the waist band of his pants, and "BANG". Needles to say the law found him at the hospital. He will either get a Darwin award or a "Here's your sign". It will be engraved to: "One Ball Bob". Yep, he de-testicled himself on one side.
