Mobile Phones: Empowering Stupid Criminals, Part VIII

Here’s another one in our series of occasional posts about the mobile-challenged criminal fraternity.

A Milwaukee man robbed a woman a gun point with two accomplices. They stole her handbag, which Americans call a purse, I believe, which contained her mobile phone. So Mr Bright Spark goes to a phone shop to try to get the phone switched on – I wonder if he was wearing a stripey uniform and carrying a bag marked swag? The assistant confiscated the phone, traced the real owner and returned it.

When she switched it on, she found that Mr Bright Spark had left a photo of himself – a clear mug shot – for her to take to the forces of law and order.

Find a day job Mr BS, preferably which restricts you to just lifting heavy things and putting them down somewhere else.
