Friday Crime Time

It is Friday and we are going back to our usual Friday feature- daft criminals.

Both tales came from America.
Armondo Garcia, Abel Lahera, Jorge Amador and Emilio Moreira decided that instead of wasting their night sleeping, they would spend in productiely robbing a store.
They broke into Stuart Lawn and Garden at 3:30 am. Stealing mostly chainsaws, the surveillance tapes showed that they knew where everything was and did not waste time looking. The cameras also captured the robbers as well and their white van, with a mismatched wheel, while they were executing their brilliant crime.

They escaped before the police arrived and put their clever escape plan into motion. They were to abondon the van and escape in a Jaguar, but only after laying low for a while, after which they would blend into the morning traffic.

Miami police found the abondoned van, which was distinct enough and nearby they found the four brilliant criminals sound asleep in the Jaguar, with their loot in the boot.
They were prompty arrested and confessed. All for are being held for Burglary and Grand theft with bail of $10 000.
Below is a picture that is now placed at the entrance of the robbed store.

Our second criminal has only been decribed as a 27 year old mail from Seattle.

This genius was arrested sneaking around in the crawl space in the cieling of the Lusty Lady strip club. Many would be forgiven if they though he was there to steal money or, well, anything. Nope, our brain child was there to sneak into the stripper's dressing room.
Now this club offers strippers who go ALL the way and take every item of clothing off. He was not doing this to avoid the entrance fee, as he snuck into the crawl space only after he entered. One must assume he was trying to catch the strippers naked, in their dresssing room. Or maybe he actually wanted to catch them with clothes on.

He was charged with Malicious Mischief but released with a warning.

Clever Criminals

Our Friday crime storys are two good ones.

The first comes from Tampa in the good old USA. Joshua Basso was sitting by himself when he encountered a rather big problem.
His airtime had run out and Joshua really needed sex. So, doing what most horny people do, he called the one number he knew was free-911. Despite them cutting him three times, he felt this need to phone a fourth time. It was then when they dispatched a unit to his home to give him a bit of bondage.
He is now in a dungeon in Hillsborough, where he is being held without bail.
His arrest record is rosey as well- he has convictions for assualt, grand theft auto, drug possession, violation of probation and so his honour roll goes on.

Our second story comes from Salem (same place John Black comes from).
21 year old Calvin Hoover phoned poilice in a state as his pick up truck had been broken into. He reported stolen a Carhartt Jacket, $400 in cash and about an ounce of marijuana. 
Police immediately began searching for him.

After about an hour, he phoned the police again, complaining because they were not doing enough to recover his electric spinach. They evetually found him in his truck, also looking for the weed and arrested him of suspicion of driving under the influence of intoxicants. He was taken to the Marion County jail.

His luck was improving because tests showed he was clean and the police warned him that if he had been caught with the wacky weed, he would have been arrested. Upon his release, they did warn him that reporting having drugs stolen from you, may not be the brightest thing to do.

How a bank says thanks

I read an article that reflects many banks' attitudes towards their staff- and those of you who have worked in the bank will know what I am talking about.

On July 28th, 2009, a robber stormed into the Key Bank in Seattle, Washington, with the intention of robbing the bank.

An awake teller, Jim Nicholson (30) noticed that the idiotic robber had no weapon and thinking quickly, overpowered the misguided crook and held him until the police arrived. A true hero I would say.

But, the bank, being the bank, thanked Mr Nicholson for his heroic deed, and for possiobly saving them money, by firing him on the 30th July 2009. The reason- he did not follow bank laid down procedure!!

I say no more...
