Not everyone is suited for a life of crime, we avoid it because
we realise that it would be wrong to be a part of illegal activities. And then
there is another special group of people – people who attempt a life of crime
but really shouldn't because they are just plain horrible at it!

In August 1995, a man named Klaus Schmidt tried to rob a bank in Berlin by walking in with a pistol and demanding money, pretty standard right? Well after a while the bank employees started noticing that the criminal was acting rather strange, at one point one of them asked if he needed a bag, and he replied “You’re damn right it’s a real gun!” It was then when they realised that Klaus Schmidt was deaf!

The employees took advantage and set off the alarm,
obviously Schmidt couldn't hear a thing, even as the police approached the
bank! When the deaf criminal was taken into custody he tried to turn a negative
into a positive – by trying to sue the bank for exploiting his disability!

In 2011 there was a police sting in Derbyshire, the police used a strategy of offering wanted criminals free beer. The criminals received notices through undercover officers informing them that they’d won a crate of beer each. To collect the beer they need to contact the company that ran the promotion.

Believe it or not, many were tempted by the offer. Nineteen
wanted criminals called the number and set up a time and place to collect their
free beer! Tragically for them there was no free beer when they turned up, only
police officers ready to take them into custody.

In 2008, an 18-year-old Ruben Zarate wanted to rob a muffler shop in Chicago, he entered the shop with a gun and demanded money, but there was one problem – most of the money was locked away in the safe! Only the manager could open the safe and the manager wasn't in, so Ruben decided he would try again later and he left his cellphone number with the store employees, that way they could call him when the manager returned.

First, however the employees called the police and then they
called the robber and when the bright spark criminal returned he found the officers
waiting to arrest him.

Sometimes the criminal makes it almost too easy for the police, like the case when a Boston Robber snatched a woman’s wallet and left behind something that belonged to him – his birth certificate!
Sometimes the criminal makes it almost too easy for the police, like the case when a Boston Robber snatched a woman’s wallet and left behind something that belonged to him – his birth certificate!
The man, named Zachary Tentoni stole a wallet containing
just 40 Dollars in cash and the victims ID, but during the struggle he dropped
two bags of his own. To make things worse for poor Zachary on the very top of
one of his bags was his birth certificating and as if that wasn't enough the bag
also contained a letter from his mom revealing his address!
Zachery obviously realized his dumb mistake because when the
police contacted him he pretended to be someone else, but he failed when the
victim identified him immediately.

A fast car or a motorbike is a good choice for a getaway vehicle; do you know what isn't a good choice? A 10-year-old donkey! A gang of thieves in Columbia abducted a donkey named Xavi from his owner and proceeded to rob a convenience store. The heist went pretty well and they loaded their goods onto the donkey and prepared to make their escape, but Xavi didn't want to cooperate.

Up until that point, the police were not aware that the
robbery had taken place, but good old Xavi started making so much noise that he
attracted the attention of some nearby officers. The robbers ran away on foot,
leaving behind Xavi and of course, all of their goods!
