Today's candidate for immortality is Brett K. Anderson of Post Falls, Idaho.
He decided to make a little extra money by stealing some 40-foot irrigation pipes and selling them to a metal recycler. The only thing he had to haul them in was a car, so he rolled down both back windows and stuck them through. To his credit, he only hit three oncoming motorists.
Anderson claims this is "the dumbest thing I've ever done in my life." It's hard to disagree with that sentiment.

Quite often the damage they inflict far exceeds the value of what they are stealing.
