Friday Funny -- Crooks



From our local Panama City (Florida) News Herald newspaper
for Friday February 22, 2002:

Two burglars broke into a business Saturday night (2/16/02), and
set off an alarm.  The alarm apparently startled them and one
suspect dropped his keys while fleeing the scene.  Police found
the suspects' keys (inside the business).   Behind the business,
they found a truck.   The keys fit the truck.  Inside the truck were
two wallets belongs to the suspected burglars.

When police sought the suspects, they called one suspect and he
bummed a ride to the station (he claimed a friend had borrowed his
truck), but he was booked into the station.

Panama City police Sergeant Dan Bates is quoted by reporter Daniel
Jackson as saying "Yes, this is one of the world's dumbest criminals."
