Go On Take the Money and Run

More Spring flowers.

Today I'm going to try to make us all feel better about ourselves by telling you a little story. Yesterday Coadster and her dad went to Iowa State to attend a minority breakfast thingy and to talk to a counselor about different options for majors.

Her dad borrowed his brother's car to take her, and while they were there, someone broke into it. They took the only thing in it, which was a flashlight, but then they also left something. That's right. The douche bag left his wallet in the car. Really? Wow. According to his license, he was from some small town somewhere, so he probably didn't have a lot of street smarts, but to break into someone's car and leave more than you stole is mind boggling. I'd love to sit in on that court date and watch the judge laugh his ass off.

So, if you're having a bad day, just remember: It could always be worse. You could be THAT big of a dumbass

Thare are a bunch of similar type duffus jokes flying around the internet.

That's something they'd talk about on national radio.

Yes, especially if I'm feeling dumb, I'll know there's someone "special" out there who takes the cake! And not only takes the cake, but leaves his wallet behind.

One of the radio stations here does a show in the morning called "Knuckleheads in the News". That guy would've been featured.

Ah, now that's the kind of crime I'm going to miss back in Chicago.

How awful to have your car broken into...but for THAT story? Totally worth it.

That is just a special brand of stupid right there.

I did something really stupid today but thanks to you am feeling SO MUCH BETTER about it! At least mine was just dumb, not ILLEGAL and dumb. That is priceless!!!!!

Kind of sweet, isn't it, to know there are still naive and flustered criminal minds. I like thinking he's already been punished. Poor little fellow's probably terrified now that he's discovered his dope-itude.

That is too rich.. and pretty darn funny..thanks for the laugh!

Everyone, It was just bizarre to have that happen in Ames, Ia. My ex called the cops, but I don't know what's going on with it from there.

When I'm done laughing my ass off, I'll comment on it..

There was a retired Chicago detective, J.J. Bitbinder, who used to do a local show about how to avoid being a victim. He said that your best asset is that you're probably smarter than they are-- that when the cops pick these guys up, they're not carrying Mensa cards.

About ten years ago, my now-ex-wife's friend's car got stolen. The cops found it a few days later and had no trouble figuring out who did it-- the high school students who'd stolen it left some of their textbooks, with names in them, and schoolwork. Holy Lebowski, Batman!
