Stupid Crimes
 
        Louisiana:
        A man walked into a Circle-K, put a $20 bill on the counter and 
asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the 
man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, 
which the clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from 
the clerk and fled-leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total 
amount of cash he got from the drawer? Fifteen dollars. 
(If someone points a gun at you and gives you money, was a 
crime committed?)
  
        Arkansas:
        Seems this guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided 
that he'd just throw a cinder block thru a liquor store window, 
grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and 
heaved it over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced 
back and hit the would-be thief on the head, knocking him 
unconscious. Seems the liquor store window was made of 
Plexi-Glass. The whole event was caught on videotape.
    
  
        Ann Arbor:
        The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a man 
walked into a Burger King in Ypsilanti, Michigan at 7:50am, 
flashed a gun and demanded cash. The clerk turned him 
down because he said he couldn't open the cash register 
without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the 
clerk said they weren't available for breakfast. The man, 
frustrated, walked away.
  
        And Finally, Kentucky:
        Two men tried to pull the front off a cash machine by 
running a chain from the machine to the bumper of their pickup 
truck. Instead of pulling the front panel off the machine, though,
 they pulled the bumper off their truck. Scared, they left the 
scene and drove home.  With the chain still attached to the 
machine. With their bumper still attached to the chain. With 
their vehicle's license plate still attached to the bumper.
