CRIMINAL JOKES
REASONS CRIMINALS GET CAUGHT
Tennessee: A man successfully broke into a bank after hours and stole the
bank's video camera, while the camera was remotely recording. That is, the videotape recorder was located elsewhere in the bank, so he
didn't get the videotape of himself stealing the camera.
Louisiana: A man walked into a Circle-K, put a $20 bill on the counter and
asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly
provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer?
Fifteen dollars.
(If someone points a gun and gives you money, was a crime committed?)
Florida: (Uh, pardon my English) A thief burst into the bank one day
wearing a ski mask and carrying a gun. Aiming his gun at the guard, the thief yelled, "FREEZE MOTHER-STICKERS, THIS IS A FUCK UP!"
For a moment, everyone was silent. Then the snickers started. The
guard completely lost it and doubled over laughing. It probably saved his life,
because he'd been about to draw his gun. He couldn't have drawn and fired before the
thief got him. The thief ran away and is still at large.
In memory of the event, the bank later put a plaque on the wall engraved "Freeze, mother-stickers, this is a fuck up!"
Arkansas: Seems this guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided
he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the
window. The cinder block bounced back and hit the would-be thief on the head, knocking him
unconscious. Seems the liquor store window was made of flexi-Glass. The whole event was caught on videotape.
New York: As a female shopper exited a convenience store, a man grabbed her
purse and ran. The clerk called 911 immediately and the woman was able to give them a detailed description of the snatcher. Within minutes, the
police had apprehended the snatcher. They put him in the car and drove
back to the store. The thief was then taken out of the car and told to stand there for a positive ID. To which he replied "Yes
Officer...that's
her.
That's the lady I stole the purse from."
Seattle: When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor-home parked
on a Seattle street, he got much than he bargained for. Police arrived at the
scene to find an ill man curled up next to a motor-home near spilled sewage. A police
spokesman said that the man admitted to trying to steal gasoline and plugged his hose into the
motor-home's sewage tank by mistake. The owner of the vehicle declined to press charges, saying that it was the best laugh
he'd ever had.
Ann Arbor: The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a man walked into
a Burger King in Ypsilanti, Michigan at 6:50am, flashed a gun and demanded cash. The clerk turned him down because he said he couldn't open the cash
register without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the clerk
said they weren't available for breakfast. The man, frustrated, walked
away.
Newark: A woman was reporting her car as stolen, and mentioned that there was a car phone in it. The policeman taking the report called the phone,
and told the guy that answered that he had read the ad in the newspaper and wanted to buy the car. They arranged to meet, and the thief was arrested.
