Dumb and dumber.

An Adelaide man who was was growing hydroponic marijuana in his house came
home to find that burglars had broken in and stolen some of his crop and
equipment. He called the police to report the theft and was surprised when
they arrested him.

Hehehe, do you get the TV show America's Dumbest Criminals down under?
It can be funny. There was some CCTV footage of a guy who broke into a
grocery store but he was so concerned about being recognised by the
cameras he covered his head in a large paper bag - without eye holes.
Cue ten mins of him wandering around bumping into everything. Heh.
Idiot.

One of my favorites:

A gang of amateur criminals decides to steal an ATM. The back a
pickup through the front glass of a convenience store, throw one end
of a chain around the ATM, the other end around their truck bumper,
and take off. The ATM is about 2500 pounds of dead weight. The cops
arrive to find

1 the smashed window
2 the ATM, barely even scratched, and exactly where it was supposed to
be
3 the chain, attached to
4 the bumper of the truck, attached to
5 the criminals' license tag.

All recorded for posterity on the store's video surveillance cameras.
In technical crime-fighting jargon, this is called "a slam-dunk".

Snip...

Not bad but the police had to look for them, unlike the marijuana guy and
this character:

Drunk Burglar Climbed Into Bed With Victims.

A German burglar who swigged down half a bottle of whisky got so drunk he
stripped naked and climbed into bed with his sleeping victims.

The married couple slept on soundly as the naked man clambered into the
double bed and fell asleep. They only woke up when he started snoring.

The 28-year-old burglar, from Moers, downed the rare Scotch whisky after
breaking in through the couple's bathroom window.

Police say he then used the toilet before finding the couples' bedroom and
jumping into bed with them.

The 31-year-old house owner said he thought it was his wife moving about and
was "startled" when he heard the snoring - and then felt that someone was on
either side of him.

The couple immediately called the police, who covered up the naked still
sleeping man before taking him in for questioning.
