Crime Doesn't Pay

Crime Doesn’t Pay

Is it my imagination are the bad guys more stupid than usual?

I read about a Harold Schmidt who was arrested for breaking and entering someone’s apartment. All the police knew  was that somebody had broken in, stolen bracelets, earrings, some CDs, vitamins from the medicine cabinet and several frozen chicken patties from the freezer.

Nobody would have realized that Harold was the breake-in-ee except that he apparently had the sudden urge to call his sweet grandmother in Ocala, Florida. 

Something must have reminded him of her. Maybe the jewelry. Maybe it was the frozen chicken patties. 

Anyway, when the next bill phone bill arrived at the apartment, the owner realized she hadn’t called Area Code 312 that night. So the police contacted the grandmother who said, “Yes, I remember who called. It was my wonderful grandson Harold.”

Harold now faces up to 10 years in prison.

Then there was the story of Mike Brennon who fell asleep on a woman’s couch while stealing from her house. When the woman arrived home, she quietly called the police and they arrested him mid slumber.

Crime certainly doesn’t pay, especially with criminals like these on the loose.

Then there was Bernie Madoff.
