Yesterday while speaking to my mother she tells me about a man who attempted to
rob a muffler shop.
The muffler shop opens for the day and in walks a man with a gun. He tells the
man behind the counter to open the register. The employee tells him we have just
opened there isn't any money in there. Robber then tells him to open the safe.
Employee says he can't do this only the supervisor can and he isn't here yet.
Robber grabs a piece of paper writes down 2 phone numbers and hands it to employee
saying, "When he gets here call me at one of these numbers. I'll come back.". So the employee calls this man and he true to his word returns to the muffler shop.
Of course the police were contacted and were waiting when he arrived. They arrested
him and took him into custody for armed robbery.
Now what would a person be thinking to do something like this? Why?? Where is
this man's common sense?? Not that robbing someone is the right train of thought to begin with...Why would someone do this?
I honestly thought she was joking and busted out laughing..but she said it really
happened and I couldn't believe what people do in life. Had to share it with you all..please share your thoughts with me on this one.
Is this the mentality of our fellow humans these days? If so do you think we
have problems on the horizon or what?
Hope for our future...Mamablaze!!

when i read this discussion i was wondering if this guy was in his right mind. I think there is something mentally wrong with him or he is the stupidest guy i've ever heard of.

LOL....I love stupid criminal (aren't most/all of them stupid anyway?) stories. This reminded me of a story a few years back where a guy robbed a bank and wrote the note demanding the money on the back of his payroll stub and then left the note behind. We also had a guy here rob a grocery store. Before he reached the cashier, the lady in front of him mentioned she had forgotten her store discount card at home. The guy offered to let her use his, so she did. After she leaves, he robs the cashier. The store then tracked him down by getting the information off the card he just swiped for the lady a few moments before. Most criminals do not think ahead anyway, but some just really don't think at all.

I suppose we should be happy about their lack of intelligence. It makes catching them for their crimes much easier...Right? I guess it also gives us
a much needed laugh. Other wise life could get dull...Mamablaze!!

I saw this on the news too and couldn't believe someone could be so stupid! But yeah things like that happen a lot. Like the ones that fill out a job application and then rob the store too. Or the ones that make a withdrawal from their own bank account before robbing the bank.
I think it shows a lot about the state of the world...for one common sense is definitely lacking and secondly people are so desperate that they do stupid things like this just to try to get ahead a little in lif. It's sad really...but also extremely amusing to read about!

I'm glad someone else sees things from ny point of view aside from my husband that is. When I told him about this he just got this dumbfounded look on his face
and started laughing as well. It took only a moment to picture the whole thing in his mind. He could not believe how foolish this man is.
