You'd have to be really stupid to ask for a ride from the guy you just robbed! When a man found his front door smashed open, he went looking for the culprit1. Sure enough2, the man spotted the burglar—pushing a wheelbarrow3 with his stolen stuff in it! Pulling up beside the thief in his car, the man started to confront him. But before he could, the bad guy asked for a ride. The man called police. They were happy to give this thief a lift—right to jail!

What's the most logical hiding place if you're robbing a restaurant? One thief thought it would be the oven! After the robber broke into the eatery4, the alarms went off and police surrounded the building. Desperately, the thief squeezed into the oven while police searched the place. Officers eventually found him and arrested him on the spot5. This bungling6 bad guy was really bent out of shape7!
