Daily Dose of Common Sense

It sure is fun to laugh at some of the dumb things criminals do, especially if it results in his or her capture. That’s why we love this bit from Cracked: 6 Baffling Mistakes Criminals Apparently Make All the Time. The article is full of ineptness and stupidity. Included are such gems as “Fight the urge to give away personal information” and “Cover your tracks:”

The second thing you should do is take the weather into consideration. If it’s been snowing in the area, a smart criminal will employ snowshoes or a flock of trained eagles that will carry him above the ground to avoid leaving painfully obvious footsteps in the snow. Unlike Rashaun Preston, a not smart criminal who, in 2007, robbed his employers and left a deep, visible trail leading from the scene of the crime straight to his apartment–like some lovably inept cartoon badguy.

Most of these mistakes are just common sense. But, if you had a lot of common sense, you wouldn’t become a criminal in the first place. We hope lawbreakers don’t read the Internet so they’re just that easier to catch.
