10. Bank Robbing Couple
An idiotic couple named John Mogan and Ashley Duboe have been charged with robbing a bank
in Asheville, Ohio. According to the police, Mogan was the one
who did the actual robbing – but his girlfriend was still an accomplice. He may have gotten away with the crime if
he hadn't gone on social media four days later and posted pictures of himself and Ashley
posing with the loot they ripped off from the bank. In one of the ludicrous photographs, Mogan
can even be seen stuffing a huge wad of cash into his mouth. Clearly, he has no idea just how dirty cash
money really is. If he didn't get pinkeye from that, I'd be
really surprised. Naturally, the couple got busted by the police. It really doesn't pay to upload evidence for
the cops online where they can easily get it. Both Mogan and Duboe were charged with theft
and robbery, currently behind bars at the infamous Pickaway County Jail. Their bond was set at $250,000, but it was
more of a formality than anything. These dumb crooks clearly don't have that
much money lying around – they don't even have enough brain cells to stay off social
media for five minutes after committing a bank robbery. 9. Falling Asleep on the Job
A thief in Thailand was woken up by the police after taking a nap in a pretty stupid place. In fact, this thief may be the stupidest one
we’ve seen so far today. The criminal broke into somebody's house to
rob them, but he was suddenly stricken by the need to take a nap. He fell asleep in a child’s room and was
woken up when the owner of the house called the police. The owner just so happened to be a police
officer, asleep in the other room while the robber was napping in his daughter’s room. Clearly, the thief didn't stake out the house
very well before attempting to rob it. The police officer, when he woke up and realized
the man was sleeping in his daughter’s bed, phoned his police buddies and they showed
up to arrest him. The video of his arrest has since gone viral,
and the hilarious look on this guy's face when he realizes what’s happening is priceless. If you're going to rob a house, maybe stay
away from houses where police live – and maybe don't fall asleep in the middle of the
job. 8. Instant Karma
In Canada, the act of stealing packages off people's porches has become increasingly problematic. It's one of the easiest yet most despicable
robbery-type crimes that a person can commit. But in Mississauga, a suburb of Toronto, one
of these sneaky porch bandits got some instant karma. He was driving through the suburb, scouting
out packages to steal from people’s houses. He saw one that looked enticing, so he pulled
his car up, ran to the door, and stole the package. But this was in the winter, and he was driving
a Toyota Yaris. He ended up getting stuck in the driveway
because his car couldn't back out of the snow. This is the Canadian equivalent of robbing
a bank with an empty tank of gas. The homeowner actually walked outside and
saw the man with his package, which scared the thief, causing him to drop the package
and run back to his car. In his haste to leave, he backed right into
a snowbank. He was now stuck between the driveway and
the snow with his wheels spinning fruitlessly. The homeowner, instead of getting angry, simply
pulled out his phone, called the police, and then filmed the thief desperately trying to
get away. But he never did, and the cops showed up quickly
and took the porch pirate into custody. 7. An Illegible Note
Craig Gernett was released from prison in August after serving over 10 years in prison
for robbing banks. This was back in 2006, when police finally
caught up to him after a string of robberies that included 4 banks and 11 shops. Just hours after he got out of jail, he went
back to robbing. He's now facing new charges in yet another
string of heists. But for whatever reason, maybe he spent too
much time in jail, he no longer had the skills he needed. His first robbery was at the TD Bank in Washington
Heights. He demanded cash and made a getaway with a
whopping $759. Next week, he pulled off another heist on
another TD Bank, this time getting away with an outstanding $568. He hit a Chase Bank that same day, earned
himself $1000, and then later in the afternoon tried to rob a third bank in Harlem. This time though, he made a pretty silly error. When he wrote the note that he was supposed
to give to the person behind the cash register, he wrote it so poorly that the woman couldn't
read it. The bank teller looked at the note, looked
back at Gernett, and told him that she couldn't read the note. In response, he asked if she was stupid and
then informed her that he was robbing the bank. He got away with absolutely no money this
time, and the cops caught up to him just a little while later. We don't know how many years behind bars Gernett
will get this time, but considering his history, they’ll probably never let him out again. 6. The Wheelchair Bandit
In Pittsburgh, a man in a wheelchair did not let his disability stop him from trying to
rob a bank. It's hard to say whether this guy was dumb,
delusional, or simply courageous. He rolled himself into the First National
Bank on the south side of town dressed in a hooded sweatshirt, with glasses on and a
black hat. He handed a note to the teller informing her
that he had a bomb in his backpack and that he would kill everyone inside the bank unless
she handed over $50,000. Naturally, the bank teller activated the alarm
– but then, something very unusual happened. When the teller broke down and started crying,
the robber seemed disheartened and upset. He wheeled himself out of the bank without
ever receiving the money. Obviously, he felt extremely guilty. When the FBI and police officers showed up
on the scene, they quickly found the man’s wheelchair abandoned near the bank. When they checked surveillance footage, they
saw him getting up out of the chair, getting on a public bus, and driving away. Apparently, he hadn't really needed the wheelchair
that badly. So, how did he get caught after making his
daylight getaway? A police officer watching the news that night
recognized the man from the security footage. He had helped him cross the street the day
before! The man was identified as 56-year-old Emanuel
Luna, and he has since been sentenced to spend 46 months in federal prison for the attempted
robbery. Do you think this was a fair sentence for
the wheelchair bank robber? Or do you think the fact that he felt so guilty
that he left without the money should get him off easier? Let us know your thoughts in the comments

Don’t think for a second that stupid criminals are a modern invention. Back in Minnesota in 1897, a group of exceptionally
braindead train robbers messed up their heist so bad people are still talking about it today. The robbery happened near Glyndon, on September
26. The train was heading west when the robbers
appeared. One of them crawled over what used to be called
the coal tender car, the car that holds all the coal to keep the locomotive running. According to local county archivist Mark Peihl,
this individual pulled a gun on the locomotive engineer and told him to stop the train. This was the first stage of the robbery. The second stage involved another man, the
accomplice. His job was to unhook the cars behind the
locomotive – the cars that were full of troublesome passengers. You see, behind the actual locomotive, meaning
the front part of the train that drags the rest of the cars along, there are a number
of different cars. Some cars carry valuables, some are for dining,
and some are for passengers. The accomplice was supposed to unlock the
cars carrying the passengers so that they could keep the cars full of valuables. The plan didn't go quite as expected. The accomplice unhooked the wrong cars. Instead of just letting the passengers go,
he let all the cars, including the one with all the valuables go as well. By the time they realized their mistake, the
first man had already ordered the locomotive engineer to keep going. The prize that the robbers wanted was now
miles behind them. So, all they managed to do was steal some
pocket watches, spare change, and a bit of pocket lint. Then they took off running and were never
seen again. 4. The Body Wash Bandit
The body wash bandit has no real name because he hasn't been caught. And while this may make him seem like a crafty
robber, he really isn't. This guy walked into a Walgreens at about
9:00 o'clock at night on September 24. He carried with him a tote bag, empty when
he passed through the doors. After a few minutes of walking around, his
tote bag was full. He then ran as fast as he could out the front
doors and disappeared into the night. So, what makes this guy such a dumb criminal? After all, he did technically get away with
the crime. Well, it's because he didn't really get away
with much. According to one of the employees who witnessed
the man roaming through the store, he walked straight to the personal hygiene section and
filled his bag full of body wash. He stole bottles of body wash and other related
cleaning products. Apparently, he just needed to get clean. Who knows why he couldn't afford to pay for
the body wash, but he obviously smelled so bad that he had no choice but to rob a Walgreens. 3. Getting Away on the Bus
Geovani Baltadano is one of the stupidest criminals in the world. You might say he's not the sharpest tool in
the shed. He's currently facing 31 charges following
an aggressive series of robberies that went on between January 22 to February 22, all
in 2021. He managed to rob at least 11 different places
while miraculously making his getaway on the public bus. At this point, it makes you wonder if Geovani
was a criminal mastermind or if the police were really so incompetent that they couldn't
catch a bank robber on a bus. Whatever the case, the police have referred
to the series of holdups as the “Note be Stupid” robberies because of the interesting
way in which Geovani asked for the cash. When he entered whichever establishment he
was robbing, he would hand over a note with something like “this is a robbery, give
me the money,” written on it. And naturally, they always did. But according to the cops, he never made off
with more than $950 in any single robbery. Maybe that's because he went from small business
to small business, robbing sandwich shops and cell phone stores. He even robbed a dollar store, as if he was
expecting to make off with more than 50 bucks! In the end, he simply got too greedy. You would think that after 11 successful robberies,
you would just give up. But he kept on robbing and the police eventually
identified him, tracked him to his home, and locked him up behind bars. 2. Locked Inside
In Philadelphia, a would-be robber managed to get himself stuck inside of a store as
he tried to rob it. According to what a police detective told
the local Philadelphia ABC News station, if all robbers were as dumb as this guy, cops’
jobs would be a lot easier. The robbery attempt happened at about 5:30
at night, with only one store employee being present. The man walked into the store, pulled a gun
on the employee, and then pointed it straight at his head. The robber told the employee to give him the
money, and in response, the employee said that he didn't have any. But he said that if the robber would just
wait a minute, he could get him some. The employee said that there was another worker
outside and that he had lots of money. Amazingly, the stupid criminal agreed to wait
in the store while the employee ran out to get his cash. What the robber didn't realize was that this
would be the end of his criminal career. The employee ran outside, quickly locked the
door using his key, and then pulled down the metal gate and ran away. The robber was trapped inside the store with
no way out. The police eventually found him trapped inside,
but not before he had unloaded his gun at the door lock in a futile effort to escape. Apparently, shooting out a lock isn't quite
as simple as it is in the movies. 1. A Bold-Faced Robbery
A man has been ridiculed mercilessly for his shocking bare-faced robbery. His name is Richard Jiles, and he tried to
rob the Trustmark Bank in Jackson, Mississippi. He walked into the bank with his face mask,
you know, the ones everyone has to wear for COVID-19, pulled down around his chin like
a diaper. The one time in history when you can actually
walk into a bank with a mask on, this guy had his drooped underneath his chin. He stood in line with his face clearly visible
to the cameras, then handed a note to the bank teller and made off with a small sum
of cash. Following the holdup, the Jackson Police Tweeted
screenshots from the surveillance footage, which clearly showed who the robber was. It took them no time at all to track Richard
Jiles down and arrest him. Which of these stupid robbers deserves the
award for dumbest criminal ever? Let us know your thoughts in the comments
