Tips for Stupid Criminals #1

Welcome to Tips For Stupid Criminals!

Because, let's be honest, stupid criminals need all the help they can get.

 

Today's Tip: When handing a stolen ID to a store clerk to cash a stolen check, make sure the person on the ID is not the store clerk in question.

 

Seems that down in sultry Louisianca, a store clerk was visiting a friend in Metaire when he car was broken into and her purse was stolen, along with her checkbook, ID, and other objects typically tucked away in a purse. A week later, our clerk had just punched in to work when her first customer in line wrote out a check for $259.17. The clerk thought the checkbook looked familiar and the check even more so. Perhaps it was the Looney Tunes characters that were the giveaway, or else it was the clerk's own name on the check. Either way, the clerk asked for ID and was handed her own, recently stolen driver's license. "I still don't know how she didn't realize it was me," the clerk told a reporter. Further examination of the customer's purse after her arrest netted ID cards from five other women. It's unknown if any of them were store clerks as well.
