Giving Crime...and Stupidity a Bad Name!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
In some ways THE ROBBER WHO SHOT HIMSELF IN THE FACE is a very comforting book. Anyone living in fear of the criminal element should be comforted by the dim bulbs whose exploits fill this book. The goofs and gaffes these smalltime hoods made run the gamut. One bank robber wrote his stick-up note on the back of a personal check. Another stole a dozen GPS devices and then decided to turn one on to see if they worked. (Surprise, it did...giving the local police a precise location to drive to). Another example: Two men were on trial for robbery, sitting there fat-DUMB-and-happy as the prosecutor asked the victim if the two men who robbed her were in the courtroom. Before she could answer, the two obligingly raised their hands! And, lastly, a California robber pointed a .38 handgun at a clerk, pulled the trigger...and nothing happened. Dumbfounded, he peered down the barrel and pulled the trigger a second time. Guess what? This time it worked! In all, Scott chronicles some 200-odd criminal nit-wits from around the world. You should sleep easier at night after reading this book. Plus it's a hoot. Recommended.
