Sticky Fingers

Everyone knows that stealing usually doesn’t pay off. Sure sometimes you might gain what you wanted but I can’t imagine that it will give you a satisfactory feeling afterwards. Or maybe that’s just me, I can honestly say I have never stolen or felt the need to steal anything. Not even as little as a jelly bean in the candy store.

For this kid stealing didn’t pay off either, and he took ‘sticky fingers’ a little bit to seriously. After breaking into an office in Germany to steal a computer he cut a piece of his finger off on a broken window. He left the fingertip behind, which gave the cops something to work with.
That must have hurt so much, not to mention he would have been covered in blood, fingers tend to bleed quiet a lot. Definitely not the smartest thing to do, especially when you don’t want people to find out who did the crime.
This reminds me of the story a few months ago, where a rapist dragged a girl into a house. She told him she had to let her mom know where she was or she might get worried, and the rapist let her go to tell her mom (and the police)…

Is there such thing as dumbest criminal award? As I’d like to nominate the above mentioned criminals for the price.

P.S. For those of you who are celebrating Halloween, have fun!

It’s probably good for the world if all criminals were dumb, at least then we could catch them in the act. Although as there are many re-offenders…. I diverse. Did you hear about the man that kidnapped a girl from a bath in her house, when the door was locked? He came through the window, I heard. It’s horrible to think you’re not even safe in your own home.

I don’t really celebrate Halloween. Sure we do the pumpkins (we have a little contest going on within the family for the best) but that’s it. I’ve never been trick or treating and I always thought it was called ‘trickle treating’!

Lol. There was a 15 yr old kid that stole a bus in Florida. He drove it around, and collected all the fares.

Apparently, he drove the bus better than most of the bus drivers have.

But, now he’s been arrested for grand theft auto. So, I guess it was a bad idea. lol
