Smile Dumb crooks

Just to maybe brighten your day, and too much time on my hands... Down here in SW VA a pawn, gun shop was broken into, crooks used a Ch**** car to pull down the iron door, and 2 military rifles were stolen. Two days later the sheriff,was investigating reports of a suspicious car in area, in the pawn shop..in walks guy asking the owner about mounting a scope on a military rifle..similar to those stolen. The Sheriff goes outside, gets plate number to find address, gets a warrant issued, and sure enough finds the stolen guns. This also compares to some locals picked up for growing mj in the back of a dumptruck, or the guy growing mj on his window sill planter... Strange things do happen down here... :'

Makes you wonder if natural selection had taken a bit of time off.

It just amazes me to see how stupid the crooks can be sometimes.

When I lived down in Arkansas, there was a guy who thought his property was remote enough he could ROW CROP MJ!! Loaded it up in a corn planter and went to town. DEA plane spotted it on an over flight and the sherrif got the land.

My favorite stupid crook story is about the one who handed a bank teller a note demanding money. He grabbed the money stacks and stuffed them in his shorts as he left the bank. About half a block away, a dye pack exploded - the cops had no problem identifying him, he was doing a little dance with his pants around his ankles.
