A man from the town of Grand Forks, North Dakota, decided to travel to Fargo so that he could rob the First Community Bank. The criminal quickly scribbled a note demanding money and gave it to the teller. Frightened, she gave the man what he asked for and watched him run out of the door. Police were called and searches of the surrounding area turned up nothing. Upon reviewing the ransom note, it was noted that the message had been written on the perpetrator's bank deposit slip. Police traveled to the man's house and arrested him on his front porch.

No License
Durham City, England

In England a gang hired a man to drive their getaway car for a series of bank robberies. As the gang came fleeing out of the first bank with several bags of money, the man panicked, causing the car to stall. Police arrived in minutes as the man desperately tried to get the car to start. In court, it was revealed that not only did the man not have a driver's license, he had never operated a vehicle before.

Miscalculation
France

Recently in France, two criminals decided it would be genius to break into a bank from a neighboring building. They decided to drill through the wall so they could reach the banks vault. After hours of exhausting labor, they finally broke through. Upon entering the room, however, they discovered that had miscalculated the location of the vault and were instead standing in the middle of the restroom.

Will it never end!
"LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- If there was a "Bad Career Move" award for car thieves, police in Los Angeles say they have a candidate -- a man who tried to steal a minivan with a judo team inside. "

"They hit him a couple of times and brought him to ground," said LAPD Officer Jack Richter

When I saw this on TV, the guy looked like he had been used for a kick bag for a few lessons.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: rampant alcoholism makes this blog possible. If this was prohibition, I wouldn’t have this blog…because computers didn’t exist back then, stupid.

CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) - A man suspected of stealing a loaded beer truck was nabbed after a police dog followed a trail of beer and clothes to find him hiding on top of a porch, Edmonton police said on Tuesday.

The police dog was called out to a parking lot in the western Canadian city on Monday morning where a beer delivery truck, recently stolen outside a liquor store, had been abandoned after a collision.

Edmonton police spokeswoman Karen Carlson said the dog and its handler followed a trail of discarded beer, a cooler, a hand cart and pieces of clothing to a nearby apartment building.

A crime like this could only happen in Canada where the populace consumes more beer than the world consumes water, which is ironic because their beer is practically water.

But that must have been a close one. There’s only one of three things that a trail of empty beer cans and smelly clothes could lead to: (1) a stolen beer truck, (2) a frat house during Rush Week, (3) Mel Gibson.

But the chase didn’t end there. The story said he tried to run out the back window of his second-story apartment when police showed up at his door. He claimed he was going on a beer run.

Just digging up dirt is all...Canadian Beer

Feh. I've never had canadian beer, but if it's more watery than that american piss, geez...
