Spring Break
Stupid criminals of the month: November edition

Issue date: 11/17/08 Section: Opinion
The dealer who bought the "hunk of metal" from the kids knew this all along and immediately called the police. The kids were soon after arrested because the silver ingot was reported stolen a few months ago.
I'm guessing the kids will most likely sell their new silver medals to afford something they could really use, like a periodic table of the elements poster.
The grand prize goes to a 22-year-old man from Billings, Mont. who was stopped for drunk driving. The catch here is that he was originally the passenger in the car when it was first pulled over. After his buddy was arrested for failing a sobriety test, he decided it would make perfect sense to get behind the wheel and, I don't know, perhaps sneak away with the pickup truck. In a dramatic twist in his plan, he was caught.
It is still a mystery as to why the man tried to escape. Maybe he was just following the golden best friend rule: Friends bail you out of jail, best friends sit next to you in jail and say "Damn, I can't believe that cop saw me trying to sneak away with the truck!"
But maybe it was something completely different. Perhaps he just didn't want to have his "goods" confiscated. By "goods," of course, I mean his stash of tastykakes.
