Really, really dumb criminals

[Angrboda]

Stupid criminals. One of my sons has a friend that, in high school, was throwing a party. A couple of the attendees bragged about burglarizing a neighbor's house. Of course, someone turned them in. Ratting one's self out is really stupid.

It is said that if you wish to keep a secret, don't tell anyone. But who wants to waste perfectly good bragging rights? Something about a secret untold just festers in the mind.
