A woman in Penn Valley, CA went into a garden supply store and browsed around for about a half hour. She was seen on surveillance video occasionally ducking between shelves and stuffing items into her bag. She even left the store to empty her bag into her car and then come BACK IN to steal more stuff. She ended up stealing about $300 worth of merchandise. The store owners had no idea she had stolen anything until they noticed some expensive things missing. They reviewed the tape and watched the woman in action. The woman probably would have gotten away with it....had she not filled out her information on a raffle card for a giveaway at the store.
HAHAHA!
This woman left her real name, phone number, AND her address on this card! I'm sorry, but you don't go into a store, steal a bunch of stuff, and then try to enter a drawing where you put your real information down! I just find this hilarious. That's pretty dumb.
At least it made the cops job easy. They took the card and went right to her house where they arrested the 20-year-old woman for misdemeanor shoplifting and felony possession of stolen property.
This should probably make the list of World's Dumbest Criminals. I don't even have much to say except for how dumb this girl is! She just couldn't resist huh? Just HAD to sign up for that raffle. She just gave herself the five finger discount, wasn't that enough? Wanted to try to win some stuff rather than just steal it, I guess.
And I would just love to know what her parents' reactions were when they heard this! Her friends too! That's one of those things where it doesn't matter how long you've been friends, you can't help but tell them, "Wow. You're an idiot."
Too funny.
