You don’t have to be a genius to be a criminal. This is a post dedicated to the dumbest of the dumb criminals.
We assume some criminals are so into their plans of law-breaking that they don’t realize they are making some obvious mistakes that will lead to their capture. It could be something as dumb as leaving their ID in a home they just burglarized or committing a crime right in front of a police officer.
Whatever dumb detail they missed, we are here to laugh about it. Check out the Idiot Criminal of the Day below.
