Almost unbelievable.

"A hooded thief was caught on camera stealing a laptop computer from a CCTV camera shop in Manchester city centre."

I've seen some funny crimes on the TV program "America's Dumbest Criminals", and that's no exception, but he's from the UK!

I remember when I was in Belgium watching the TV with england's dumbest theives or whatever. That show was hilarious.

A grandma - like one of those cute old ladies that you see in the park or whatever - went into a bank and tried to rob it. She held up the bank tellers with a chainsaw....and ELECTRIC chainsaw.

She reared up and held the chainsaw over her head and stuff, and you could see the little thing where you plug the extension cord in dangling down around her wrist. The entire bank doubled over in laughter and she was hauled off. It was the funniest thing I'd ever seen when in Europe.


edit: So, is HE

a chav?

 

[Danny]

I suppose.

It depends what he drives. If it's a hot/warm hatch, then yes.


He is a dumb theif.

Who else would come up with such a foolproof plan?

Smoooooooooooooooooth move.....

No, he's a twonk. Even lower form than chav.

What a fool. Wonder if he could hear the electric whines...

 

[Lee]

Twonk.... thats gr8!!!

What exactly is a CCTV camera?

I'm not from England, and never heard of CCTV so I don't get the stupidity...

EDIT: I get it now...He stole from a shop that sold security cameras and such so he was bound to be filmed..

 

[ExigeEvan]

CCTV= Closed Circuit Television. A.K.A Security cameras.

That's almost as funny as trying to steal a gun from a gun shop. Or steal a cop car.

 

[Dave A]

No you can steal a gun from a gun shop successfully, you can steal anything from anywhere with the right planning, it's just the way he did it thats pathetic.

 

[Omnis]

Still....why go to a CCTV store to steal a LAPTOP.

He could've gone to Laptopworld and stolen a laptop.

Planing, yeah right you ain't gonna see an Italian job in a gun shop. Smart criminals think bigger.

 

[Omnis]

and you're not going to see a robbery in a gun shop, you're going to see a murder.

Yep, smart criminals think bigger, smart people setup their own businesses or earn as much legit.

A smart criminal observes what he wants and the location for a few days. Then he plans the best day to strike at the best time. Afterwards, he knows whether or not to go with the robbery or not on the planned time and day if an interference occurs.




































Don't ask.

So you're the guy that stole the monkeys! 💡

A dumb thief? Most definately!

However, I wonder how long it will be before they catch him, or if they ever get the laptop back?

If he never gets caught, is he still "The Dumbest Thief in the UK", or has he just pulled off a brilliant crime?

 

[McLaren]

If he doesn't get caught, then he's one of the luckiest and still the dumbest thief from the UK.

He could've gone to Laptopworld and stolen a laptop.

Laptopworld is my bro's next heist...
