nce scams, puzzling break-ins, wacky weapons, and even the occasional Good Samaritan like Mr. Twister the Clown, who fed about-to-expire parking meters "to make people happy". As we all know, crime doesn't pay especially if you're a dim-witted criminal.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Culled from newspapers all over the world, these comic true tales include crooks who armed themselves with frozen kangaroo tails or unknowingly made off with empty safes, human heads, and urine samples. As the editors note, "Some criminals are even simpler than the crimes they try to commit." -- Entertainment Weekly

Crime antedotes in a minute,
By "book_girl" (Kaiserslautern, German) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The World's Stupidest Criminals: A Comical Collection of 400 Real-Life Bumbling Burglars, Dithering Delinquents, and Other Foolish Felons (Paperback)
This book is not bad. It contains some funny accounts of robberies and whatnot, but there isn't much in the way of detail. The stories just give the bare bones of what happened. Most are just one to two pages long. If you're not much of a reader, this would be a good book for you.

Damn That Was Funny,
By "jdonut572" (Mamaroneck, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The World's Stupidest Criminals: A Comical Collection of 400 Real-Life Bumbling Burglars, Dithering Delinquents, and Other Foolish Felons (Paperback)
This book was really, really funny. Some of the stories i read were so hilarious i almost fell out of my seat. Especially the people that stole the dumbest things and ended up getting caught anyway for something that was completely pointless. I definitely reccommend this book to those who want a good laugh. Just be aware: don't laugh too hard!
