Bank Robbing Couple An idiotic couple named John Mogan and Ashley
Duboe have been charged with robbing a bank in Asheville, Ohio.
According to the police, Mogan was the one who did the actual robbing – but his girlfriend
was still an accomplice.
He may have gotten away with the crime if he hadn't gone on social media four days later
and posted pictures of himself and Ashley posing with the loot they ripped off from
the bank.
In one of the ludicrous photographs, Mogan can even be seen stuffing a huge wad of cash
into his mouth.
Clearly, he has no idea just how dirty cash money really is.
If he didn't get pinkeye from that, I'd be really surprised.
Naturally, the couple got busted by the police.
It really doesn't pay to upload evidence for the cops online where they can easily get
it.
Both Mogan and Duboe were charged with theft and robbery, currently behind bars at the
infamous Pickaway County Jail.
Their bond was set at $250,000, but it was more of a formality than anything.
These dumb crooks clearly don't have that much money lying around – they don't even
have enough brain cells to stay off social media for five minutes after committing a
bank robbery.

Falling Asleep on the Job A thief in Thailand was woken up by the police
after taking a nap in a pretty stupid place.
In fact, this thief may be the stupidest one we’ve seen so far today.
The criminal broke into somebody's house to rob them, but he was suddenly stricken by
the need to take a nap.
He fell asleep in a child’s room and was woken up when the owner of the house called
the police.
The owner just so happened to be a police officer, asleep in the other room while the
robber was napping in his daughter’s room.
Clearly, the thief didn't stake out the house very well before attempting to rob it.
The police officer, when he woke up and realized the man was sleeping in his daughter’s bed,
phoned his police buddies and they showed up to arrest him.
The video of his arrest has since gone viral, and the hilarious look on this guy's face
when he realizes what’s happening is priceless.
If you're going to rob a house, maybe stay away from houses where police live – and
maybe don't fall asleep in the middle of the job.

Instant Karma In Canada, the act of stealing packages off
people's porches has become increasingly problematic.
It's one of the easiest yet most despicable robbery-type crimes that a person can commit.
But in Mississauga, a suburb of Toronto, one of these sneaky porch bandits got some instant
karma.
He was driving through the suburb, scouting out packages to steal from people’s houses.
He saw one that looked enticing, so he pulled his car up, ran to the door, and stole the
package.
But this was in the winter, and he was driving a Toyota Yaris.
He ended up getting stuck in the driveway because his car couldn't back out of the snow.
This is the Canadian equivalent of robbing a bank with an empty tank of gas.
The homeowner actually walked outside and saw the man with his package, which scared
the thief, causing him to drop the package and run back to his car.
In his haste to leave, he backed right into a snowbank.
He was now stuck between the driveway and the snow with his wheels spinning fruitlessly.
The homeowner, instead of getting angry, simply pulled out his phone, called the police, and
then filmed the thief desperately trying to get away.
But he never did, and the cops showed up quickly and took the porch pirate into custody.

An Illegible Note Craig Gernett was released from prison in
August after serving over 10 years in prison for robbing banks.
This was back in 2006, when police finally caught up to him after a string of robberies
that included 4 banks and 11 shops.
Just hours after he got out of jail, he went back to robbing.
He's now facing new charges in yet another string of heists.
But for whatever reason, maybe he spent too much time in jail, he no longer had the skills
he needed.
His first robbery was at the TD Bank in Washington Heights.
He demanded cash and made a getaway with a whopping $759.
Next week, he pulled off another heist on another TD Bank, this time getting away with
an outstanding $568.
He hit a Chase Bank that same day, earned himself $1000, and then later in the afternoon
tried to rob a third bank in Harlem.
This time though, he made a pretty silly error.
When he wrote the note that he was supposed to give to the person behind the cash register,
he wrote it so poorly that the woman couldn't read it.
The bank teller looked at the note, looked back at Gernett, and told him that she couldn't
read the note.
In response, he asked if she was stupid and then informed her that he was robbing the
bank.
He got away with absolutely no money this time, and the cops caught up to him just a
little while later.
We don't know how many years behind bars Gernett will get this time, but considering his history,
they’ll probably never let him out again.

The Wheelchair Bandit In Pittsburgh, a man in a wheelchair did not
let his disability stop him from trying to rob a bank.
It's hard to say whether this guy was dumb, delusional, or simply courageous.
He rolled himself into the First National Bank on the south side of town dressed in
a hooded sweatshirt, with glasses on and a black hat.
He handed a note to the teller informing her that he had a bomb in his backpack and that
he would kill everyone inside the bank unless she handed over $50,000.
Naturally, the bank teller activated the alarm – but then, something very unusual happened.
When the teller broke down and started crying, the robber seemed disheartened and upset.
He wheeled himself out of the bank without ever receiving the money.
Obviously, he felt extremely guilty.
When the FBI and police officers showed up on the scene, they quickly found the man’s
wheelchair abandoned near the bank.
When they checked surveillance footage, they saw him getting up out of the chair, getting
on a public bus, and driving away.
Apparently, he hadn't really needed the wheelchair that badly.
So, how did he get caught after making his daylight getaway?
A police officer watching the news that night recognized the man from the security footage.
He had helped him cross the street the day before!
The man was identified as 56-year-old Emanuel Luna, and he has since been sentenced to spend
46 months in federal prison for the attempted robbery.
Do you think this was a fair sentence for the wheelchair bank robber?
Or do you think the fact that he felt so guilty that he left without the money should get
him off easier?

The Wrong Train Don’t think for a second that stupid criminals
are a modern invention.
Back in Minnesota in 1897, a group of exceptionally braindead train robbers messed up their heist
so bad people are still talking about it today.
The robbery happened near Glyndon, on September 26.
The train was heading west when the robbers appeared.
One of them crawled over what used to be called the coal tender car, the car that holds all
the coal to keep the locomotive running.
According to local county archivist Mark Peihl, this individual pulled a gun on the locomotive
engineer and told him to stop the train.
This was the first stage of the robbery.
The second stage involved another man, the accomplice.
His job was to unhook the cars behind the locomotive – the cars that were full of
troublesome passengers.
You see, behind the actual locomotive, meaning the front part of the train that drags the
rest of the cars along, there are a number of different cars.
Some cars carry valuables, some are for dining, and some are for passengers.
The accomplice was supposed to unlock the cars carrying the passengers so that they
could keep the cars full of valuables.
The plan didn't go quite as expected.
The accomplice unhooked the wrong cars.
Instead of just letting the passengers go, he let all the cars, including the one with
all the valuables go as well.
By the time they realized their mistake, the first man had already ordered the locomotive
engineer to keep going.
The prize that the robbers wanted was now miles behind them.
So, all they managed to do was steal some pocket watches, spare change, and a bit of
pocket lint.
Then they took off running and were never seen again.

The Body Wash Bandit The body wash bandit has no real name because
he hasn't been caught.
And while this may make him seem like a crafty robber, he really isn't.
This guy walked into a Walgreens at about 9:00 o'clock at night on September 24.
He carried with him a tote bag, empty when he passed through the doors.
After a few minutes of walking around, his tote bag was full.
He then ran as fast as he could out the front doors and disappeared into the night.
So, what makes this guy such a dumb criminal?
After all, he did technically get away with the crime.
Well, it's because he didn't really get away with much.
According to one of the employees who witnessed the man roaming through the store, he walked
straight to the personal hygiene section and filled his bag full of body wash.
He stole bottles of body wash and other related cleaning products.
Apparently, he just needed to get clean.
Who knows why he couldn't afford to pay for the body wash, but he obviously smelled so
bad that he had no choice but to rob a Walgreens.

Getting Away on the Bus Geovani Baltadano is one of the stupidest
criminals in the world.
You might say he's not the sharpest tool in the shed.
He's currently facing 31 charges following an aggressive series of robberies that went
on between January 22 to February 22, all in 2021.
He managed to rob at least 11 different places while miraculously making his getaway on the
public bus.
At this point, it makes you wonder if Geovani was a criminal mastermind or if the police
were really so incompetent that they couldn't catch a bank robber on a bus.
Whatever the case, the police have referred to the series of holdups as the “Note be
Stupid” robberies because of the interesting way in which Geovani asked for the cash.
When he entered whichever establishment he was robbing, he would hand over a note with
something like “this is a robbery, give me the money,” written on it.
And naturally, they always did.
But according to the cops, he never made off with more than $950 in any single robbery.
Maybe that's because he went from small business to small business, robbing sandwich shops
and cell phone stores.
He even robbed a dollar store, as if he was expecting to make off with more than 50 bucks!
In the end, he simply got too greedy.
You would think that after 11 successful robberies, you would just give up.
But he kept on robbing and the police eventually identified him, tracked him to his home, and
locked him up behind bars.

Locked Inside In Philadelphia, a would-be robber managed
to get himself stuck inside of a store as he tried to rob it.
According to what a police detective told the local Philadelphia ABC News station, if
all robbers were as dumb as this guy, cops’ jobs would be a lot easier.
The robbery attempt happened at about 5:30 at night, with only one store employee being
present.
The man walked into the store, pulled a gun on the employee, and then pointed it straight
at his head.
The robber told the employee to give him the money, and in response, the employee said
that he didn't have any.
But he said that if the robber would just wait a minute, he could get him some.
The employee said that there was another worker outside and that he had lots of money.
Amazingly, the stupid criminal agreed to wait in the store while the employee ran out to
get his cash.
What the robber didn't realize was that this would be the end of his criminal career.
The employee ran outside, quickly locked the door using his key, and then pulled down the
metal gate and ran away.
The robber was trapped inside the store with no way out.
The police eventually found him trapped inside, but not before he had unloaded his gun at
the door lock in a futile effort to escape.
Apparently, shooting out a lock isn't quite as simple as it is in the movies.

A Bold-Faced Robbery A man has been ridiculed mercilessly for his
shocking bare-faced robbery.
His name is Richard Jiles, and he tried to rob the Trustmark Bank in Jackson, Mississippi.
He walked into the bank with his face mask, you know, the ones everyone has to wear for
COVID-19, pulled down around his chin like a diaper.
The one time in history when you can actually walk into a bank with a mask on, this guy
had his drooped underneath his chin.
He stood in line with his face clearly visible to the cameras, then handed a note to the
bank teller and made off with a small sum of cash.
Following the holdup, the Jackson Police Tweeted screenshots from the surveillance footage,
which clearly showed who the robber was.
It took them no time at all to track Richard Jiles down and arrest him.
Which of these stupid robbers deserves the award for dumbest criminal ever?
