A true story out of San Francisco:
A man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked into the branch and wrote "this iz a stikkup.
Put all your muny in this bag"
While standing in line, waiting to give his note to the teller, he began to worry that someone had seen him write the note and might call the police before he reached the teller's window. So, he left the Bank of America and crossed the street to Wells Fargo.
After waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his note to the Wells Fargo teller. She read it and, surmising from his spelling errors that he wasn't the brightest light in the harbor, told him that she could not accept his stickup note because it was written on a Bank of America deposit slip and that he would either have to fill out a Wells Fargo deposit slip or go back to Bank of America. Looking somewhat
defeated, the man said, "OK" and left.
He was arrested a few minutes later, as he was waiting in line back at Bank of America.
He wuz dumm wuznt him.... I guess he skipped school the day they defined logic!
Perhaps an ex real estate agent? There are a few names that come into mind that fit his description.
Hey, I think that same guy just called on one of my listings! : )
Brigita...I heard a similar one the other day a robber told the clerk to give him a bottle of scotch during the hold up, she said how do I know you're old enough- so he showed her his license. Cops were at the house when he got home.
That is great! You know sometimes I wonder how people can actually get through the day. Well maybe he can learn something in jail with all of his free time...like how to spell
Holy cow, too funny!
Steve - I was working at an upscale women's clothing store when a woman wrote me a fradulent check. We had those machines where you need to swipe the ID along with the check, so I asked for her license. Either as a mistake or stupidity, she handed me her real license. That's when I realized the names didn't match up, on the check and the ID. I told her I'm sorry, but your check bounced. She looked surprised and apologized, and left. (I had looked at her ID long enough to memorize the address and call the police after she was gone.) JM
I suppose if criminals weren't stupid, they wouldn't be criminals in the first place. Thanks for the laugh, Brigita.
Gary:
I guess so!
Brigita
Tim:
Hmmmmm! That is a possibility!
Brigita
Brandy:
Oh oh!! Better call the police! LOL
Brigita
Steve:
Get the frying pan out! Clunk!
Brigita
Skye:
Hey, now that's an idea!
Brigita
JM:
That one deserves the frying pan! Clunk! Maybe it will knock some sense into these people. LOL

Suesan:
A laugh is the best way to start off the weekend! :-)

Hi Brigita - I guess he wasn't the brightest star in the sky. A guy once robbed the bank in my home town and was arrested two doors down from the bank while he was sipping on a cold beer. I guess he figured no one would look for him there.
Jon:
Could be.
Brigita
Brigita, thanks for making me chuckle....I hope you have a nice weekend. Take care!
That illustrates why there aren't very many dumb crooks out on the streets.
HI Brigita, Thanks for the laugh for my day. Thanks for sharing!
I'm sure I showed this guy houses last week because he would have been the most "on the ball" of all the geniuses I worked with last week. I hope I get smarter criminals this week.
Tim
Kristin:
Great way to start your weekend with a laugh!
Hope you had a great one!
Brigita
Cheryl:
Definitely!
Brigita
Gary:
Laughter is great for the soul! Glad you enjoyed it!
Brigita
Tim:
I don't think you want to deal with smarter criminals. Trust me!

A few days ago we had two college students who reported being burglarized. They reported that among the items missing were "a bong and about $100 worth of marijuana." Of course, if the police recover the stolen items and the college students identify it, they'll be arrested, according to the police. Of course, I suspect that the $100 worth of marijuana was used by the burglars that night, but can you imagine your parents finding out that you not only were burglarized but that you smoke marijuana? LOL
Russel:
Now those students deserve the Frying Pan Award. Clunk!!
