Bizarre Criminals --------------------+

In September 1992, robbers in Las Vegas held up a van

thought to contain gambling chips, only to find that it

was carrying potato chips instead.

In 1998, a guard was caught smuggling a wad of money in

his underpants out of a bank in Atlanta when a tiny

security-dye capsule exploded, blowing a hole in his

trousers.

In 1998, a would-be Texas grocery store robber went to the

trouble of disguising his face with a balaclava but forgot

to remove from his breast pocket a laminated badge which

bore his name, place of employment and position within the

company - an oversight spotted by at least a dozen

witnesses.

A 1975 raid on the Royal Bank of Scotland in Rothesay degen-

erated into farce when, on the way in, the three would-be

raiders got stuck in the bank's revolving doors and had to

be helped free by the staff. Undeterred, they returned a

few minutes later and announced that it was a robbery. The

staff thought it was a practical joke and refused to pay

up. While one of the men vaulted the counter and twisted

his ankle on landing, the other two made their escape,

only to get trapped in the revolving doors again.

Those are funny Marie. I used to watch Americas's Dumbest Criminals or whatever that show was, and they had one instance where the perp was wearing a giant cardboard beer box on his head as a mask. He kept knocking stuff over and walking into things. Couldn't fit through the door so he took off the box right in front of the security cameras. What a dork. It was a riot.:wah:
