The World's Stupidest Criminals - Softcover

Botched bank robberies. Dimwitted assault attempts. Goofed-up getaways. It's amazing just how dumb crooks can be when they stray from the straight-and-narrow. From misdemeanor missteps to felonious follies, World's Stupidest Criminals delivers a life-sentence's worth of funny with stories like:

The forgetful bank robber who remembered everything-disguise, weapon, threatening note-except for a bag to stash his loot. His heist went off almost hitch-free until he realized he left home without his Hefty.

Little boy lost who thought it a good idea to ask a cop for directions. A not so good idea? Going up to the cop with a blunt tucked behind his ear and a stash of marijuana in his pocket.

A German man who stole a mobile phone and almost got away with it. That is, until he received a call on the hot cell saying he won a case of free beer. He was shocked when police showed up to his house with handcuffs and not Heineken.

After this behind-the-bars look at stupid, you're guaranteed to stay on the smart side of the law!
