More Dumb Criminals!!!!

Kentucky: Two men tried to pull the front off a cash machine by running a chain from the machine to the bumper of their pickup truck.   Instead of pulling the front panel off the machine, though, they pulled the bumper off their truck.   Scared, they left the scene and drove home.   With the chain still attached to the machine.   With their bumper still attached to the chain.   With their vehicle's license plate still attached to the bumper.

<Indiana: A man walked up to a cashier at a grocery store and demanded all the money in the register.   When the cashier handed him the loot, he fled, leaving his wallet on the counter.

Texas: A man convicted of robbery worked out a deal to pay $9600 in damages rather than serve a prison sentence.   For payment, he provided the court a check... a forged* check.   He got 10 years.

From San Francisco: A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap that measured his speed using radar and photographed his car. He later received in the mail a ticket for $40 and a photo of his car. Instead of payment, he sent the police department a photograph of $40. Several days later, he received a letter from the police that contained another picture...of handcuffs.

(Location Unknown): A man went into a drug store, pulled a gun, announced a robbery, and pulled a Hefty-bag face mask over his head... and realized that he'd forgotten to cut eye holes in the mask.

(Location Unknown): A man successfully broke into a bank after hours and stole--are you ready for this?--the bank's video camera.   While it was recording. Remotely. (That is, the videotape recorder was Located elsewhere in the bank, so he didn't get the videotape of himself stealing the camera.)

Virginia: Two men in a pickup truck went to a new-home site to steal a refrigerator.   Banging up walls, floors, etc., they snatched a Refrigerator from one of the houses, and loaded it onto the pickup.   The truck promptly got stuck in the mud, so these brain surgeons Decided that the refrigerator was too heavy. Banging up *more* walls, floors, etc., they put the refrigerator BACK into the house, and returned to the pickup truck, only to realize that they locked the keys in the truck.... so they abandoned it!
