I have some dumb criminal stories, most of which I found when I was looking for Darwin awards (awards given to dumb people who die because they did something pretty dumb).
Some about steel and scrap metal thieves , hoping to make some money selling that kinda stuff.
1. A group of thieves entered an abandoned US military camp, where a large water tank (not a tank like using in a war, but a tank of water) was stationed. The thieves were hoping to take the metal from the water tank and sell it. So, they stood under it and proceeded to saw off the legs of the water tank. As to be expected, the top of the tank fell and crushed the thieves, who's bodies have not yet been identified.
2. Police arrested a 22-year-old man at an airport hotel after he tried to pass two counterfeit
$16 bills.
3. When two service station attendants refused to hand over the cash to a robber, the robber threatened to call the police. The attendants still wouldn't give him the money, so the robber called the police -- and was arrested.
4. Another scrap metal thief one. A group of scrap metal thieves walked into abandoned factory. They looked for their best source of metal, of which they deemed to be the metal foundations of the building. So, they immediately went to work chopping down the foundations of the building. Of course, the factory toppled right on top of them.
5. Police interrogated a suspect by placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine. They placed the message "HE'S LYING" in the copier, and pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth. Believing the "lie detector" was working, the suspect confessed to the police.
6. There was this guy who always wanted to fly. He tried for the US air force, but he didn't make it due to his poor eyesight. So, instead, he stole some military standard balloons, helium tanks, and other materials, then went to work. He set up his lawn chair on his front yard, tying it down with rope to the ground, fashioned securely to part of his house. He then filled up the helium balloons, attaching them to the lawn chair. Grabbing some snacks and some darts, he prepared for liftoff, figuring that he could could just pop a few balloons when he wanted to come down again. When he cut the rope tying his lawnchair to the house, he blasted into the sky, as opposed to the slow, gradual accent he had imagined. He dropped the snacks and the most of the darts - and found that he was too high in the sky now that if he popped a balloon he would plummet from the sky and crash. He was found hovering above a airport, and they had to cancel flights due to the supposed "terrorist attack"/"unidentified object" in the sky. He finally gathered the courage to pop a few balloons at the height of 16,000 feet, and after 14 hours. He got tangled in a power line and blacked out part of a city for 20 minutes, and was fined $1,500.
