about a month ago i saw a convicted felon, rapist and generally a real dirtbag get elected president, he ain't dumb, but there sure are a lot of folks that drank the, "elect a racist narcissist felon and he will make your life better" cool aid, y'all going to find out how many stupid people will be sorry, bless your hearts 🙂

Ask a police officer. They say the crooks are always thoroughly surprised when they are caught. It won't happen to me, I'm too clever..... sure.

I've done a tiny bit of research online and as it turns out, children who never felt the true nurture and affection from loving Parents are more likely to end up UNLUCKY

I dont think the would be crooks if they whernt dumb... only some mm one dumb enough would do something dumb enough to get caught.

Oh so true

Agree they definitely not the brightest

i was walking through a carpark where a little bws shop is i notice a fella running towards me with 2 bottles of spirits,he stopped me and asked if i would like to buy them,i could see the security guard looking around frantically, yep this guy had just stolen them as was no further than 20 plus meters from the shop and he was trying to sell them, while i haggled the price the security guard wondered over and caught the dude,

Skippy Lou, who said crime doesn't pay? Just look at politicians everywhere 😏

Some peoples are born that way. Peoples don't think what will be. If they do this more camera around us. We will lose freedom in life and will be watch over more by the government Edited 09-Dec-24 20:01pm

Yes 2 weeks ago I witnessed a man with a mask walk straight out of a liquor store with 2 baskets loaded with top shelf whiskey. The staff yelled at him to come back he just shook his head and scoffed at them! What the hell is going on with these frieks? It would be excellent if the staff were aloud to spray them with permanent ink so he could be easily identified when he came back. Apparently he had been in there before they had his image on camera and video

Some are, you don’t hear about the ones that get away with it

I suppose they think they are sheer genius's because despite spending time in gaol as soon as they get out some commit another crime straight away.

Ah, I get your point, every brag sheet leads to a free photo opportunity!

If you had any brains you would not be a crook.

SOME PEOPLE are dumb, it is not restricted to some thieves, Look at some of the statements/questions? Some people dont appear to have a life, Or they will sink low to get some points from Rewardia?

Y e p

I have to disagree look at the the Australian politicians who lie their heads off and never deny when caught JWH said that was not a Core Promise where as the others just say nothing ignore the question and go on another answer. Then look at the White Collar Crime how many Bankers went to jail for their criminal activity? Same applies to the Telco Operators not a single one had anything happen them them for everything that they did wrong. Is So Mo facing charges for Robo Debt which was a tissue of lies which killed people. But Pickup an apple and eat it in a super market things will be very different I once saw Store Security Arrest a old dear for picking up dead leaves and claiming she was stealing them. On another occasion I had one assault me claim I had stolen a VCR Tape and got really worked up when I barged into the managers office demanded that the Police be bought in and when they arrived handed them a firearms license told them which pistol was in the briefcase and then suggested that the store in question was selling stolen Videos that I owned the copyright to. No way I was opening the brief case in front of the Store Idiots and the look of panic on the managers face when I said that where selling stolen products was worth the time wasted by the Store Detective who was claiming he could have been shot just for doing his job. I insisted that the Police Arrest him for Assault as he had no right to place a hand on me and drag me down some escalators.

Some crooks are really dumb. Some crooks don't know how to keep their mouthes shut. The real situation is that you rarely hear about the smart ones. The Great British Train Robbery. Though eventually they got caught, but the plan was brilliant. The Brinks job. The guy who jumped out of the flying jet liner in the U.S. The crypto-currency krooks. Those are just the biggies. There are inumerable smaller crooks and criminals who get away with stuff every day.

Sooner or later they get caught,either because they become complacent or just can't keep it to themselves.

If you brag about it you will be caught in more ways than one as a rat for a price will tell the security and you are done.

It eventually catches up to them, or they try to blame someone else.

NOW we must do a IQ exam to be come a crook. Just to prove we are not dumb. You don't hear about the smart ones. They got away with it.

Criminals who make mistakes may cause a moment of hilarity, but let's not forget that ultimately, It's innocent people who are being affected.

? some might be Dumb? Some are so smart it's not funny? the Law is not eactly good in all cases? Jail is only there to keep the sheep scared? As in if there is not enough sheep in Jail, or to many in Jail, the flock wouldn't be the right size to graze and everything wouldn't work for trimming the grass? the true criminals, or the super criminals can't be arrested? because they own the law? Or would they do it if there was more money? maybe not? Is the criminals the banks? is the criminals the government? for not putting enough money out there to keep them happy in the first place? Or are the criminals the Police for killing to many sheep in the flock? we need to let a couple out of jail to keep the flock the right size in such cases for trimming the grass? So then Criminals are only dumb if they want to be, it's up to them?

Fines and penalties are just not enough deterrent.

Same as young car theives who post on their socials.

No, but a 20 year jail mandatory sentence would

Yes crime doesn't pay and now with Adult crime, Adult time hopefully the young little Beeps will take heed and stop stealing. They can't keep allowing the thieves to keep stealing cars and killing innocent people because they never end up injured and others end up dead. Crazy and they know no one can touch them so hoping these new laws help but of course it doesn't bring back the people that have been killed by them.

They are really smart what are y’all talking about

Dumb or desperate, sometimes I thin k desperation for money or attention drives people to do dumb things

Yes also in my books They will always get caught one way or another

It's a struggle to get the latest version

Not all crooks are dumb. Look at the amount of Corporate crime that has been going on and they get away with it because of loopholes in the law & corruption involved. The uneducated get caught, the smart ones get away with it.

All crooks are dumb. They should put the energy in living a wholesome life

How about the two guys who attacked a Brisbane Uber driver for his cash? For those who don't know how Uber works, no money changes hands as Uber already have the customers' bank details. The driver actually died which makes it even more senseless.Edited 09-Dec-24 10:02am

Then there's karma.

Jehovah God hates anyone who steals, unless they repent, and never steal again. Nothing is worth stealing and loosing God's Grace. Nothing can take the place of living forever on this earth made a paradise! ;-D

Some low lifers actually think prison is cool! It gains them "Street cred", if they're in gangs it's mandatory you'll be doing time at some point and they brag about all the stuff they do and the time they've done, reminisce like it's the good old days! It must be a cultural thing to people, because organized crime is in every nation .. regular people cannot understand the mindset

Especially in Melton .Michael

I most cases, this is true.

It all boils down to Greed! The occasional shoplifter , they're not rtelaly so 'occasional becuaws in Australia it is estimated that Shoplifting collectively costs the Supermarkets literally 10s of Billions every year. The result? Prices go UP. It is many years ago now, nut I attended the AGM of the national Australia Ban, NAB, when it was suggested that the banks CEO should be paid a salary of $AU1 million, seems like nothing now doesn't it? In addition, the CEO was to be paid an Annual Bonus based on the following criteria 1. The Bank's profit had to increase 2. The Bank had to get bigger, attract more customers etc. 3. The Bank's Share Price had to Increase. But just look what has happened. Salaries for the CEOs, and other Senior managment of Airlines, Banks, Miners and almost all other Commercial operations have exploded, they are now getting paid Multi Million Dollar salaries and Bonuses also worth Multi-Millions. They are getting all thise even if their companies are Shrinking, with some even going to the wall, the Profits and Share Prices have plumetted to almost Zero. It is not just the shoplifters and others who are breaking the Law, they are not the only Criminals. The Politicians have also got their noses very deeply imbedded in the Taxpayer's pockets. They do Nothing to stop the rorts. Why? Because they hope they will receive one of those Plain Brown Paper Bags and "The Party" will get a big injection of money from those banks. Airlines, Miners etc. Greed is the name of the Game and Greed is the name of the World's Newest deity.

Uneducated people see it as easy money without thinking about the consequences if they get caught. Stupidity will always be part of our society unfortunately.

I spent 40 years as a ɓig city detective. The dumb ones are the low hanging fruit. I enjoyed the challenge of finding the one mistake that the smart ones made. Cops can make a thousand boo-boo's. A crook gets to only make one. My satisfaction came from finding it.Edited 09-Dec-24 08:15am

Stealing is bad, one should learn contentment

yes you are right Skippy Lou

Stealing is a full time job. Fast money.

I agree

I think I would be a dumb criminal, that’s why I never took it up as a way of life.

The old saying works for these people. No Brain, No Pain, they are dumb as, and I hope they all get what's coming to them it's just a matter of time.

Its just getting worse there should be stronger laws t prevent it from happening before the security camers came in I worked in stores to catch the shop lifters every week I was in court with about 6 I had caught shop lifting most of the time I could not beleive what I was seeing but it payed off to stop a lot of people

Angela I agree. Cri n e doesn't pay.crooks should get a job like the rest of us.

The funny thing is...we sit here judging the petty crims, when in every day life we are being robbed by the powers that be.

You never hear about the really smart ones.

Not surprising as their IQ is generally about floor level.

That's why their dumb

Someone stole a mobile phone from a friend of ours and she reported it and then cops asked her to call and see if someone answers and say he or she won something and the person answered the phone and gave his address 😂

I say Karma

Criminals these days must think they're auditioning for 'World's Dumbest Crooks: Social Media Edition.' It's like they forgot step one of crime—don't post it on Instagram! Honestly, the FBI should start awarding participation trophies for making their jobs this easy.

Someone stole our neighbors car. Joyride then abandoned it. Left in the car his probation papers 😂

yes. , you are right. The good thing is that they will end up getting caught or what goes around comes around

Most of the real crooks only have other crook friends to brag to so it does not really matter. They do not do the best job blending in though

Home Alone first comes to mind.

Well if we had decent judges on the bench and stick to the proper sentence proposed maybe some of these losers would stay where they belong, instead of getting measly time and going back what to where they left off.

Most crimes are solved because someone spilled the beans. Loose lips sink ships.

The Banking Scandal of 2008 proved how smart criminals are - especially WHITE-COLLAR-CRIMINALS. WHITE-COLLAR-CRIMINALS 'ripped' the world off for trillions of dollars - and 'none' of the money was recovered. However, every government on this planet had to payout trillions of dollars to stabilize CAPITIALISM - or CAPITIALISM will have collapse. Furthermore, in the late 19th century - ROBBER BARONS' stole and looted a country in broad daylight for decades - it is known as USA these days, and ROBBER BARONS are known as OLD MONEY these days. History has proved on numerous occasions that WHITE-COLLAR-CRIMINALS - always get away with the money and NEVER get CAUGHT! Other words - crime pays very WELL - lol!Edited 09-Dec-24 06:15am

Most crooks are smart and get away with thier crimes or at least for decades however some crooks are just plain dumb suck as the idiots going around Victoria fire bombing tobacco shops and setting themselves on fire in the process

Then how come there are so many unsolved mysteries eh? Jack the Ripper the most famous serial killer of all time was never caught! Spring-Heeled Jack of London has never even had a single suspect in that case! Remember Britain's Great Train Robbery? Neither the loot nor the train has ever been found and the sole suspect they found was illegally taken from Brazil and had to be returned to there. In this area of PA, we have at least 20 unsolved disappearances w/ and w/o 'persons of interest'! BTW a person of interest is the way the police have of saying they are clueless! They always expect the citizens to come forward, tell what they know and then as like as not be in fear of their life for helping the very people we shell out tax money to in order to be protected! Crooks, real ones, are far from being dumb, my friend!

some people are just too stupid for words.
