Couple of years back there was a situation with an armed gunman trying to rob a local gas station. During the hold-up his cellphone rang and the dude not just actually went and answered it, but apparently also turned around for some privacy, whereupon one of the customers smashed him in the back of the head with a bottle of vodka (or possibly whiskey, the stories differ in that regard), dropping the robber to the ground and stunning him long enough for the other people present to dogpile him.

In my previous job, I produced/inspected microfilm. Most of it was digitizing documents for record keeping and preservation. One of our regular customers was a smallish town's police department. While inspecting a roll of film, one case caught my eye. A teenager, who was in the custody of his mother, ran off and took his infant with him. He had been dealing with court ordered therapy and other assorted things for being in previous legal trouble. He even mailed his mother a letter teller her not to look for her and that she and the police would never find him. Well, they found him. They found him because he logged into his Xbox Live account while hiding out in his dad's basement.

I remember when I was in school getting my phone stolen. Oddly enough, it didn’t seem to appear anywhere on “find my phone”, which meant that the thief didn’t decide to take it, but to turn it off entirely and hide it in the school. I was extremely lucky to find it, although not without the help of some teachers. It seemed, however, that the thief would get away with this with no repercussions… At least that was until I decided to check the camera roll and find that the idiot that stole it had recorded himself, and with such blatant proof I was able to incriminate him of his wrongdoing.

After he hit him he tried to end the trip and run away, however to end the trip you're required to take a picture of the scooter to prove it's parked correctly. This genius included the victim lying on the ground in the photo, the picture was of course shared with police and his identity could be determined from the app.

He said he could always tell who made a mistake, who would learn from their error, and who would not learn, becoming a repeat customer.

So at one point, both of them looked straight into the camera for a minute and discussed whether or not it was worth stealing - and decided the TV was a better prize.

The same, when I was an RA in a freshman dorm. I basically told all residents, please don't be idiots. I don't want to get you fined or kicked out of housing. And then I'd tell them basically the circumstances under which I would have absolutely no choice but to call my bosses and write a report about it. (If you are obviously having a party, I will knock on your door and tell you "I think you are having a party, I'm coming back in 5 minutes and I really don't want to find any alcohol here." UNLESS when you open the door I see people with beer bottles or liquor in open sight... then I can't give you a warning/free pass, so don't open the door until all the evidence is hidden. PLEASE! Or.... if you are smoking pot in your room please make sure it isn't completely obvious to anyone walking into the wing (overwhelmingly strong smell, obvious cloudiness in the hallway). Both of these are legal issues, but as far as residence life department were concerned they were safety issues, so we were mostly interested in ending secretive drinking and preventing people from having open flames. So when people are caught in a way that meant we HAD to do the required things, it felt like... GUYS work with me here! You live right next to a grassy field the size of multiple football fields where no police are going to find you... go out there and smoke your weed like a responsible teenager!

They wanted us to make sure all the residents knew (and told any of their visitors) that the Campus police were really police and could really arrest you, so don't think they were campus security... and that campus security shared radios with the police, so don't be a dick to them either.

Part of the issue is that they seem to imagine the Revolutionary War was legal, as if the Declaration of Independence gave permission to the Founding Fathers to revolt and they weren’t punished if they were caught. And so they’re just following that tradition and think they’re allowed to attack our government if they’re pushed too far and the government can’t fight back. This is what happens when you learn about reality from Hollywood movies and think everything is justified if you’re the protagonist.

What had happened was this individual got into my building's 'secure' carpark, and in full view of the CCTV cameras went around trying the doors of every car he could get to. Apparently I'd forgotten to lock mine... but I don't keep anything worth stealing in there, so he got in, looked around, and promptly got out again. At least he had the courtesy to close the door behind himself. I should note that there is a CCTV camera literally next to my parking space, so of course the police were able to identify this gentleman and my car license plates. I don't know what came of it, but I assume it wasn't the only thing on the guy's rap sheet.

Once she set up her new one with her iCloud and everything, a weird email started popping up asking us to sign in, along with there being photos of a couple we didn't know in her photos. My major strength with computers is knowing what to search on Google, and I was able to find their Facebook by searching their email. My Mom got the old iPad back within two weeks. It baffles me today that this (adult) couple was SO STUPID that they left a breadcrumb trail obvious enough for a 13/14 year old kid to track

@@jimwormmaster Dog whistle is a term that basically means a phrase that other people "In the know" will recognize but that you can deny. It's like saying "Goldberg" to refer to jews but being able to say "I just picked a random name, don't get so upset" when someone calls you out.

Taking selfies now just makes more sense. Back in the old days, we had to do self-portraits and oils can be a tricky material to paint with at the best of times . Tried a pastel selfie after a string of burglaries, didn't really work that well.

I follow a news column on stupid criminals, and at first I was simply appalled, but I came to realize that it's like fishing in a shallow pool: "This is a group of people who couldn't come up with a better plan than sticking up a liquor store. It is hardly surprising that some of them are VERY stupid."

Which is funny, given most crimes go unsolved. So, who's dumber. The idiots who commit crimes and get away with them, or the people who fail to catch them. I've heard that line from multiple lawyers/officers/professors but the reality is always so far removed from that saying it genuinely makes me think someone's stupid for saying it. Hell, where I live less than 5% of all murders get solved. Meaning, you have a FAR better chance of getting away with murder, than going to jail. And that's fuckin MURDER. Who KNOWS how many smaller crimes go unsolved.

Also, they do so many they're eventually caught by law of averages. Criminals actually get away with a fair amount of crimes they commit, but that doesn't mean you should go live a life of crime. Criminals generally lead really crappy lives. Even if they're never caught, the vast majority have no friends or family who will talk to them. They can't trust anyone because the only people who want to be around them are as nasty and unstable as they are and will stab them in the back the moment it gives them an advantage. They have no future prospects, don't know where their next meal is coming from, all they can think about is how to get a few dollars to survive the next day.
