How NOT to earn your stripes

One of the most grueling experiences a parent can go through is the incessant begging for a pet. Whether it’s one of the neighbors’ new puppies, a miniature pony, or a disgusting fish with see-through skin, kids are always convinced they can take care of it. According to ABC News, this dumb criminal hasn’t quite outgrown that notion.
In Thailand, a full-grown woman was caught trying to sneak a three-month-old tiger through the security of Bangkok’s international airport. Her brilliant plan consisted of drugging the poor little guy and shoving him into a suitcase filled with a variety of stuffed tigers. Needless to say, she was arrested and the tiger was taken away to live in a wildlife center. Sorry, sweetheart. It might have worked if you were on the set of E.T.

Stolen Car


  • While reporting the theft of her car the women mentioned that her cell phone was still in the stolen vehicle. Police called the cell phone number telling the crook that they were answering an ad from the news paper to buy the car. Thinking it would be a good way to unload the stolen car and make a few dollars, the robber made arrangements for a meeting where he was arrested immediately.

    9-1-1

    A 21-year-old man who called 9-1-1 to report that his marijuana stash had been stolen was arrested earlier this week in Salem, the Marion County Sheriff's Office announced. 

    Emergency dispatchers received a call from Calvin Hoover of Salem about 12:52 a.m. Tuesday, said Lt. Sheila Lorance, a sheriff's spokeswoman. 

    Hoover was angry, he told the 9-1-1 operator, because someone had broken into his truck -- parked at the Free Loader Tavern in Salem -- and stolen his Carhartt jacket, $400 in cash and less than an ounce of marijuana, Lorance said. 

    Sheriff's deputies responded to the tavern and to Hoover's home, but he could not be found. 

    About an hour later, Hoover called 9-1-1 again. This time he was driving, upset that authorities were not working harder to recover his stuff. The dispatcher had trouble understanding Hoover, who stopped several times to throw up, Lorance said.

    Deputies soon found Hoover's truck in Southeast Salem. Hoover was walking about 100 feet away. He told deputies he was looking for the people who stole his "weed." 

    Hoover was arrested on accusations of driving under the influence of intoxicants and took him to the Marion County Jail. 

    Deputies took a theft report, then warned Hoover, who does not have a medical marijuana card, that reporting the pot theft might not have been such a smart idea. If he had been caught with the pot, they said, he could have been charged with possession of a controlled substance.

    Your not 21...

    Colorado Springs: A guy walked into a little corner store with a shotgun and demanded all the cash from the cash drawer. After the cashier put the cash in a bag, the robber saw a bottle of scotch that he wanted behind the counter on the shelf. He told the cashier to put it in the bag as well, but he refused and said "Because I don't believe you are over 21." The robber said he was, but the clerk still refused to give it to him because he didn't believe him. At this point the robber took his drivers license out of his wallet and gave it to the clerk. The clerk looked it over, and agreed that the man was in fact over 21 and he put the scotch in the bag. The robber then ran from the store with his loot. The cashier promptly called the police and gave the name and address of the robber that he got off the license. They arrested the robber two hours later....S4H!
