[Music] of course they're almost certainly idiots not only that but he was holding a toy gun and removed his mask in front of the surveillance camera it's so sad I almost feel sorry for him have you ever seen that clip of the intoxicated cowboy who failed his sobriety test when his DOI turned into a dance off in Reno 911 well they say life is hard but we're here to confirm that it's much harder if you're stupid and that's a fact there's nothing quite like the sweet sweet Justice of the law especially when the people breaking the law are total morons a couple months ago we published a list of stupid criminals who got caught for ridiculous reasons today we're bringing you something similar and we know you're going to love it since thanks to the prevalence of video surveillance these beacons of society were filmed in the ACT I'm Mike with list 25 and here are 25 of the world's dumbest criminals who got caught on camera 25 the staff ha ER this list is going to be full of bungling Thieves but I have to tell you it almost felt sorry for this guy the young wannabe Thief broke into a Melbourne Bakery and somehow ended up locked in the store room the hilarious CCT TV footage shows him stacking anything and everything he could find including containers chairs and bins in his desperate attempt to get out of the store room and onto the roof the cameras rolled for over 30 minutes as the stacker tried as best to scale his makeshift Mountain miserably failing and ending up on the floor at least five times the criminal mastermind eventually freed himself but turned himself in when footage of his bleeding face started popping up everywhere and now I want a BK Stacker damn it 24 Christopher Batman if that isn't a Marvel super villain name then I don't know what is unfortunately the only thing badass about Christopher is his surname I mean putting a plastic bag over your head is so dumb that even children are taught not to do it when Mr badman tried to steal from hotel rooms in Perth cow Wales in 2015 he accepted he needed a way to hide his face from the security cameras in the corridors in the video he can be seen wandering around with a bag over his head going in and out of rooms however he later returns to the corridor with the bag removed after one of the hotel guests interrupts him great surname not too bright though 23 Sweet Treats I am so happy you're watching this video today because if you haven't seen this clip yet I have the honor of introducing you to the Robin Hood of Texas well the water down version of him anyway the shiple donut shop in Houston was robbed in 2017 by three men armed with guns and black masks as they screamed and told customers to hand over their phones you know regular robbery stuff one of the men grabbed donuts and began handing them out to customers sitting inside the store now I am all for Sweet Treats especially when people in shock receive them but stealing from small businesses will never be cool 22 a courteous Thief some thieves are determined to inconvenience your life as much as possible others are willing to lend a friendly hand in the form of manual labor before running off with your belongings in 2022 a man called Marcus hubard realized he needed a lawn mower urgently and went looking for one we're curious if you wanted to test the sharpness of its blades or just its General capabilities before taking it home nevertheless Marcus or Marcus the mower proceeded to mow the legal owner's front and backyard before making a run for it dragging the lawn mower behind him that just actually makes it funnier in my mind he finally had to abandon the mower and managed to evade being arrested 21 the foiled robbery now we did say that life is harder when you're stupid at the beginning of this video and oh boy do I love it when I'm right two wouldbe Brazilian bank robbers were captured in 2016 after attempting to deceive the alarms at a Santa Katarina Bank using head-to-toe foil disguises even if that worked the criminals should have concentrated their escape plans on the security cameras which captured the robbers as they crawled through the bank and attempted to get into the safe police were contacted right away and the two individuals were arrested 20 James Allen in the movie Snatch two thieves commit an armed robbery and get stuck in the building because they can't decide whether to push or pull to open the door it's a hilarious scene that couldn't possibly ever happen in real life right after all who could be that stupid now the answer appears to be James Allen a 28-year-old man who tried to steal from a convenience door only to be prevented by yes pushing rather than pulling on the door not only that but he was holding a toy gun and removed his mask in front of the surveillance camera the strikes just kept coming for Allan a business regular who had also happened to Rob the store only 10 days before I believe it's safe to say that James Allen will never be convicted of being a master Thief 19 taken down by the car you stole we searched far and wide but we found it for you the video of the worst car thief in America and trust me it's no small feat so what did this guy do to win the title well he somehow managed to hit himself with the Honda Accord he tried to steal while fleeing from the police meet 31-year-old Isaiah John gly the man with a broken leg his journey to a pinned body against the wall began when a police officer in Happy Valley Oregon responded to a 911 call about a theft in progress the police quickly spotted gly in a parked 1998 Honda Accord for some reason he was lying down in the fully reclined driver's seat was this his fruitless attempt to hide probably but it gets better when the officer reached the vehicle and shined his light inside gly sat up in the driver's seat shifted into gear and a high-speed chase ensued gly finally decided it was time to bail so he opened the driver's door and leaped out of the still moving Honda it was then that our idiot Thief friend ended up getting pinned under the car's wheel and breaking his leg officers also discovered a ping pong paddle tennis racket designer sunglasses and a Schwin scooter inside the Honda probably should have tried to get away on the scooter 18 the caned robber 2015 was a wild year in Toronto it was the year of the caned robber a man who not only once but twice tried to Rob variety stores using nothing but a cane as terrifying as it was what really made us Giggle was the police report on his misdeeds on both occasions the cane wielding madman walked into the locations with his four-pronged Cane waving it around and demanding money from the clerk after each unsuccessful attempt he fled the scene on get this his red four-wheel scooter at the time the Articles were published police requested assistance in finding the man who not only attempted to rob the stores but did so by making quote aggressive use of a Cane yep 17 Dennis Hawkins when you're coming up with ideas for disguises your first prerogative is to conceal your true identity a decent disguise should also be discreet to blend in with the masses the disguise used by Dennis Hawkins a 48-year-old Pittsburgh resident who decided to rob a bank failed miserably on both counts his disguise included a woman's blonde wig fake breasts and I kid you not clown pants the first issue was that his face complete with mus stash and goatee was visible on CCTV cameras the second issue was that his disguise was not exactly subtle a gas station worker called to report someone with that distinct appearance attempting to steal a car shortly after police issued a description to the public as if Hawkins wasn't already noticeable enough when police came they discovered him splattered in red paint from the die pack that had exploded on his face 16 a robbery gone South this robbery gone wrong would have been straight up hilarious if it wasn't for the cringe Factor as you'll see for yourself there's probably never been a thief more embarrassed than the man who mustered up all his bravado and entered a beauty salon with what may or may not be a concealed weapon in his pocket I guess nobody ever told him that women in beauty salons shouldn't be trifled with uh fellow men take note women doing their nails have enough trouble in their lives not to mention the numbers in the salon don't mess with that the idiotic brave soul had to tuck his tail between his legs and bail after not a single woman handed over any of her belongings 15 the pickpocket while we're on the subject of nail salons uh we should change our advice to include both men and women why would you mess with a woman or her belongings while she's getting pampered in a beauty salon what makes this clip even worse is the Betrayal cue the shame Bell of Game of Thrones we have a female perpetrator in this clip the pickpocket was caught on camera as she stole 's jewelry in a salon in Los Angeles after she entered the salon under the guise of getting a Manny Petty while she did get the treatments she left the salon with brand new Nails as well as another woman's wedding ring the traitor was apprehended in less than 2 days and the ring was returned to its rightful owner 14 the Johannesburg 3 in 2017 a video of three men attempting to break into a property in johannisburg went viral the robbery was prevented and filmed by an Orange Grove resident while it's not laughing matter it certainly made people laugh in other parts of the world initially appearing on a neighborhood WhatsApp group the footage shows three guys attempting to enter the property by breaking open the Palisade Gates the homeowner is notified of the break-in and goes outside armed with a camera to videotape what's happening the wouldbe robbers don't notice the man as they attempt to pry the gate open with a crowbar until he clears his throat to let them know he's there the three perplexed men glance up at the homeowner before looking at each other and choosing to escape and if you thought these criminals have been dumb so far then hold on to your hats because you won't believe who's at number one trust me 13 Ashton Gibbs in 2014 a city in Georgia had an unusual robbery spree a man who was always completely butt naked save for his cowboy hat was captured on multiple home surveillance cameras while breaking into people's homes in some houses he would have a few beers get a few snacks out of the fridge and enjoy the home homeowners music While others were merely burgled Ashton Gibbs was captured not long after his Rampage leaving us to wonder how he decided which homes would be looted and which had the better music 12 when everything is smarter than you the most challenging part of this video is describing all the ways this wannabe ATM thief in Townsville Australia didn't get away with his crime it's so sad I almost feel sorry for him first of all the surveillance footage shows the guy hurling an object against the mechanical doors of a corner store only to have it Ricochet back at him but he's a man on a mission and doesn't back down he pummels the door until he manages to punch a hole in it once inside he ties a chain to the ATM unfortunately he doesn't appear to notice the chain snapping outside the gas station store he blasts off expecting an ATM to fly out behind his car but nothing happens the idiot finally has to throw in the towel get back into his car car and drive away without the ATM 11 Michael Baker while we all enjoy celebrating our accomplishments and posting them online for our friends and family to see we should consider what we share with the rest of the world and the reality that more people may see our social media posts than we realize Michael Baker believed that siphoning gas from a police cruiser was not only a brilliant idea but one he intended to share with the rest of the world his girlfriend snapped a photo of of him posing by the car while he was siphoning the gas bragging rights are cool but he went too far when he uploaded the picture on Facebook his friends relatives and local law enforcement were all able to see what he'd been up to if you do anything stupid think about who you want to share it with otherwise as this list proves everyone in the world could find out 10 using your toddler as cover if you're going to have kids they should provide cover for your criminal misdeeds preferably in the form of little human body Shields right well that's a bold statement we definitely don't agree with one thief in Russia did exactly that he took his toddler into an electronic store and stole a laptop while the poor toddler looked around confused the father of the year put the device underneath his sweater before picking up his son to use his body as cover against prying eyes he managed to steal the device and left the store without being stopped but forgot about the cctv's allseeing eye and was later apprehended nine the criminal who took out his buddy a brick can be a valuable tool for smashing a door or window but it doesn't work as effectively if the thief throws the brick at his accomplice instead of the window two would be burglar hilariously cause their own undoing as one man launched a brick at the head of his partner in crime the men tried to break into a building in China with bricks but had a significant lapse in their combined efforts in coordination one Thief can be seen throwing his projectile before perilously ending up in his co-conspirator line of fire in short while he may not have seen the brick coming at his face we're sure he enjoyed the alternative Universe he was bound to see for the next few seconds before returning to reality with a massive headache and a few ruptured blood vessels eight when you take yourself down speaking of brick mishaps this thief attempted to break into a building by Smashing the glass but the brick bounced back at him and smacked him in the head knocking him down he probably never heard about Newton's third law but karma definitely ensure that he received a reaction to his action seven Amy Adams some crimes have a way of showing us where Evolution went horribly wrong like that of Amy Adams no not that Amy Adams this other Amy Adams in 2006 she robbed a shop in New Zealand the intelligent owner decided to use the surveillance footage to entice her back to the store by putting her picture on a local TV news station informing her that she had won the prize for this week's lucky Shopper and had to appear in person to claim said prize so she drove back to the shop told them her name pointed herself out on the surveillance footage and was promptly handcuffed by undercover cops during the trial she kept denying breaking any laws until the judge explained she was guilty and there was no way she could convince anyone otherwise six The Inchworm Bandits guys too much TV is bad for you trust us not you two though keep watching the inor bandits got their wacky name because of the way they crawled rolled and fumbled Mission Impossible style through a restaurant in an attempt to dupe the surveillance cameras they made off with about $450 of the staff's tips of course they're almost certainly idiots given that if they were Geniuses they wouldn't be robbing pizza places for a few hundred a pop and whatever else they are they're obviously criminals but I don't want to rule out the idea that these guys knew precisely where the cameras were and just chose to do something like a ninja crawl across the floor because they thought it'd be hilarious if it hit the news five a legit machete fight a couple of years ago a Pittsburgh convenience store went from ordinary to a scene straight out of Game of Thrones for a few tense strange seconds that's because a wouldbe thief tried to hold up the store with a machete only to discovered the cashier was equipped with a weapon of his own when the unknown Suspect with the blade ran behind the counter in search of money the store clerk reached for his own blade a fulllength scimitar and just like that a bladed battle took place in the of a Pittsburgh Convenience St for a few seconds anyway four the slip and slide thieves before you ask yes you may call this incident jewelry theft on Ice in fact that's what we're going to call it the footage is hilarious the surveillance footage shows four mased men bursting through the gem Jewelers using a stolen Mercedes and plundering the Coventry England jewelry store however the floor had just been recently waxed which caused some friction related challenges we'll say the suspects carrying canvas bags and axes resemble tiny Penguins learning to walk on ice as they struggle to obtain traction on the Slick flooring unfortunately the thieves succeeded in stealing hundreds of thousands of pounds of gold jewelry despite their clumsy Behavior three getting it on with a doorbell okay this one is definitely weird and terribly gross a man in Selena California got the moniker hash doorbell licker after a home security system recorded him licking a homeowner's doorbell for 3 hours yes 3 hours the dunan family who lived in the home alerted the authorities after spotting the man on the doorstep via their home monitoring system when the incident occurred the children were home alone and thankfully slept through the commotion the parents on the other hand receiv received notifications concerning the activity at their front door the footage immediately went viral and the man was soon identified as Roberto Daniel ooyo oroo was also recorded as he relieved his bladder in the front yard according to # doorbell licker he just wanted to ring the bell and run sure buddy sure two Lamar Reed this one had us in stitches who said a legal career is boring it's not every day that the man walks up to enter his plea on his traffic violation in court and ends up dropping his gram of coke on the floor in front of the judge luckily for us the courtroom security cameras were rolling and the moment Lamar Reed will regret for the rest of his life was captured on film to live on in YouTube infamy forever we can't help but wonder why anyone would take any illegal substances to court with them in the first place or is it a case of a Forward Thinking entrepreneur who figured out that it would be the best place to take his legal substances to I mean you never know just where your clientele might be waiting right one taken down by a Renaissance Fair wench in a plot twist worthy of a Shakespearean comedy a man found himself starring in his very own Renaissance misadventure at the Colorado Renaissance Festival this modern day Knight in not so Shining Armor decided to participate in a real life game of Finders Keepers and tried to make off with a sword however he didn't factor in the unlikely heroes in the crowd two women
