1. A Drunk Thief Decorates The House
Okay, so it would be a little harder to believe, but there was a thief who broke into a house in the neighborhood, and he was high on bath salts for real.
So, he basically did not steal anything from the house but decorated the whole house as it was Christmas, so apparently, the thief was into a very festive spirit.

This might surprise you, but a person does that, lol!
You often want to leave an unforgettable first impression but stealing from your employers might not be the first thing you think about, right?
A 36-year-old man entered a store and bought some ammunition and sunglasses, a deadly combo. Then, he left the store without paying; typical Karen move.
But what happens next will shock your ass off because the man returned after a couple of hours and submitted a job application at the same store.
Though police took him in and recovered all the items, it is still weird to come back for a job in the same place you were trying to rob.
3. A Thief Tried to File a Complain
A thief enters a bank, all set to rob it, but to his surprise, there is no money in their safe! What a twist!

4. A Robber Gives his Name and Address to the Teller
So, a robber went to rob a bank but not every one of them is up for concealing his identity, and in August, Michael Harrell took one for the team by handing out a paper of demand to the teller.
This paper included his name and address, and the police say that when a criminal himself hands us this kind of information, there is very little that is left for us to do
So, apparently, Michael was either too dumb or too proud of his robbery that he wanted everyone to know. Well, they took him in anyways and charged him for robbery.
