Because stupid criminals might make smart readers.

 

Today's Tip: It's bad form to look for a job at the same place you recently robbed.

 

Ironically, the reason "Art" robbed that construction company in Stillwater, Oklahoma, seems to be that when he went there looking for a job in June 2003, no one was around. And perhaps Art figured, heck, there's no reason why he should have come all that way for nothing. Whatever Art's thought processes (or lack thereof), he came away from that construction site with a power tool and several goodies he lifted from a car on the site.

 

Unbeknowst to Art, his adventures in thievery were recorded on a security camera. And so, when he came back to the construction company the next day, employees recognized him as the guy who'd helped himself to whatever wasn't pinned down the day before. The folks at the company kept him on the premises by interviewing him for a job; while he was talking about his qualifications, the cops showed up and hauled him away.

 

Art didn't get a second interview. Apparently they don't give points for initiative. Or audacity.
