The criminals who fell asleep at the scene
Unless you’re a mattress tester, you should
never fall asleep on the job. That’s particularly
true if the job in question involves breaking
the law.
There are a surprisingly high number of
criminals are found sleeping in houses they
broke into. Actor Robert Downey Jr. made his
longtime drug addiction even more
embarrassingly public on July 16, 1996, by
accidentally falling asleep in his Malibu
neighbor’s house — in a child’s bed, no less,
and there are a few lesser known examples:
• Mark Smith snuck past a homeowner while
she was ironing, and was discovered hours later
when she saw his legs sticking out from under
her bed. When the cops arrived, they found the
criminal passed out and were unable rouse him
from his drug-induced slumber.
• Dion Davis grabbed a bag of jewelry from his
victim’s house before passing out right on the
bed with his stolen goodies beside him. He
didn’t even wake up even when the maid
discovered him or when the police arrived and
started taking pictures.

Forgetting to flush the toilet after you go
number two isn’t just bad etiquette, it’s also a
great way to leave a DNA sample behind.
Charles Williams should have learned better
manners because leaving the toilet unflushed
in a home where he stole $1,000 worth of
property was precisely what got him caught.
The sample was almost lost when the family
returned to the home and the children made
the discovery – they flushed the toilet before
police arrived. However, Williams also left used
toilet paper (where, we don’t know) and police
were able to use that to get a DNA sample.

If you ever break into someone’s home
(probably not a good idea to begin with) and
help yourself to something to drink, you might
want to take the container with you, or at least
throw it away. Just don’t leave it behind, lest
the police are able to track you through your
DNA. Take it from 33-year-old Ryan Bohnert.
Bohnert did just that when he and another
suspect broke into into a home in southeast
Oregon and took over $10,000 worth of
jewelry, silver bars, collectable coins and
electronics.
While investigating the crime scene, police
discovered an empty orange juice carton on
the premises and matched DNA left on the
container with known suspects in the FBI
database. While one of the suspects was still
being investigated, Bohnert was already in
custody, facing charges for another break in.
Needless to say, additional charges were filed
against Bohnert and the DNA evidence will be
added to the case against him.
4. The robber who phoned in his robbery

Takeout is a staple of the lazy person’s diet, but
you can’t apply that same concept to robbing a
bank. Albert Bailey didn’t want to sit and wait
for bank tellers to bag up the money during his
robbery, so he called the branch ahead, saying
“I want $100,000 in large bills and no dye
packs. I will be sending someone into the bank
to get the money. Don’t call the police, we are
monitoring the police scanner. Do you
understand?”
Unsurprisingly, the bank employees
immediately called 911, but before they could
lock the doors, Bailey’s 16 year-old delivery
boy arrived to pick up the cash.
He grabbed about $900 and walked to a
condominium parking lot, where Bailey was
waiting in a car. Police arrived just in time to
arrest the pair before they started to drive
away.

Many of us neglect to log out of our social
media profiles when we’re at home and it’s
easy enough to forget to log out even when
you’re at a friend’s house. But when you’re in a
stranger’s home, you probably shouldn’t be
checking Facebook in the first place.
If you intend to lead a life of crime and can’t
break your social media habit long enough to
commit said crime, at least remember to log
out and turn off the computer so your profile
isn’t easily accessible to the victim and the
police.
Thief Nick Wigg did just this, and was caught
when the victim, James Wood, recognized him
from his Facebook profile. Wigg was even
wearing clothes he stole from Wood in his
profile picture! Believe it or not, at least three
other crimes have been solved this way, so
maybe criminals should consider not using
Facebook if they’re too forgetful to log off
while committing a crime.
6. The thieves who painted their masks on
with magic marker
The thieves who painted their masks on with
Making a disguise to hide your identity during a
crime is pretty easy. You can put pantyhose on
your head, cut a few holes in a pillowcase or
even just wear a ski mask. Even if you don’t
have anything handy, you can find something to
make a mask from at just about any
convenience store. With so many inventive
ways to hide your face, you have to be pretty
lazy to simply grab a magic marker, draw all
over your face and say “good enough.” Also,
like Matthew Allan McNelly and Joey Lee
Miller, you have to be really stupid.
The pair broke into a stranger’s apartment with
these “masks,” and were pulled over after
police were alerted. When officers spotted the
criminals and their marker-covered faces, they
not only knew they had the right men -they
also had a good laugh. “I’ve been chief here
almost 25 years, been with the department
28½ years and I’ve seen a lot of things that
make me laugh and weird things, but this was
probably the best combination of the two –
strangely weird and hilariously funny all at the
same time,” said police chief Jeff Cayler.

make more than one bill

Counterfeiting money is hard and no one wants
to have to carry around dozens of bills, so to
save some effort, Michael Fuller decided to
just counterfeit one really big bill – a one
million dollar bill to be exact.
Not surprisingly, when he tried to use it to buy
$476 worth of goods at Walmart, the cashiers
called the police while Fuller sat around waiting
for his change. He was charged with attempting
to obtain property by false pretense and
uttering a forged instrument.

Granted, not every robber can get a hold of a
gun, but most banks are still more than willing
to hand over their money even if you pass
them a threatening note. That’s why it’s beyond
preposterous to simply grab a plunger and use
it to rob a bank like Lawrence Deptola did. Of
course, tellers are trained to always give up
their cash in order to minimize their risk
during a robbery, but Deptola’s idea to just
grab the first thing he could find led to the cops
being called pretty much immediately,
resulting in his arrest only a few minutes later.

In this particular case, the only thing criminal
was the man’s laziness. Using scissors and
climbing a tree to cut down a little mistletoe
isn’t a crime, though trying to shoot it down
with a shotgun outside of your local mall is
another matter entirely.
“I decided to go around the house to the mall.
There is a tree around there with a lot of
mistletoe. It’s not at the mall it is actually on
the fence line. I went over there with the
shotgun, took one shot, shot the mistletoe
down and put the gun back in the car and
gathered it up,” said Robinson. His efforts may
have earned him a kiss back home, but the
police rewarded him with an arrest and two
misdemeanor charges for reckless conduct and
firing a weapon on property of others. Source: www.deolububble.com/general/ndb/9-laziest-criminals-ever/ |
