10 Hilarious Times Criminals Were So Stupid They Got Themselves Caught

Dear readers,

While we would never, ever advocate stealing anything, we’re almost happy the incidents mentioned within this roundup occurred. The dumb thieves in these stories are so woefully inept at stealing that all you’ll be able to do is laugh, and then take pleasure that they also come with a dose of Karmic justice.

These ten stories from our archives show that while crime never pays, getting caught can sometimes be worth a few laughs…

Pre(Car)ious Insurance, Part 4 – “Why are you screaming, sir?”

Honesty Among Thieves – I’d think they were joking, but on this site…

Highway Robbery – Hits from the comments: “He’s got a beautiful train of thought, but it’s stuck in the railway depot.”

The Honest Crook – Only after we caught you, dimwit.

Black Ops To Get You Black Listed – I don’t think you understand how piracy works.

Now Playing: Busted – Oh, look! Another reason you should’ve stayed home today.

On Completely Different Wavelengths – The soap is complementary. The radio is not!
