That stupid criminal thread.

[AFTT47]

There was a TV show called America's Dumbest Criminals.  My kids watched it.

I had a room mate who had videos of that. One I never forgot was a would-be bank robber who was caught on camera outside the bank spraying his head with whipped cream. Then the guy walks into the bank with this globe of cream around his head with two holes for his eyes and one for his mouth. But rather than walk directly to a teller, he got in line behind the other customers. It was ten minutes before he reached a teller - who had long ago pressed the silent alarm. It's kind of hard to be inconspicuous when you're standing in a bank line with a melting globe of whipped cream surrounding your head. He was taken into custody immediately.
