The dumbest criminal ever.

[Sannum]

When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home parked on a Seattle street, he got much more than he bargained for. Police arrived at the scene to find an ill man curled up next to a motor home near spilled sewage. A police spokesman said that the man admitted to trying to steal gasoline and plugged his hose into the motor home's sewage tank by mistake. The owner of the vehicle declined to press charges, saying that it was the best laugh he'd ever had.

9. I think one of the dumbest criminals I've ever heard of is from Maine.

Apparently he tried to rob a convenience store in Castine, which is the only town on a small penninsula. He got away with a few books but forgot to arrange transportation away from the scene of the crime. No matter: he decided to make his getaway on foot, on the road. The only road that led out of town. Cops picked him up in five minutes. :eyes:
