Police Officers Reveal The Smartest Criminals They've Encountered

police officers have read it who's the smartest criminal I've ever encountered most of them are really stupid so this guy isn't a criminal mastermind but here goes he wanted to Robert joella's on a city's Main Street so he found out the flat beside that jewelers was empty and he hid there for two weeks he triggered the alarm on purpose several times a night massive headache for the police and the business we turned up to see nothing there nothing on cameras thought it was just a fluke so that joella's turned off the alarm system and said they'd wait until the morning to get a new one installed or that one rewired because something wasn't right as soon as he heard that and the police leaving he tore down the wall had already been working on this apparently and robbed the place taking his sweet time escaped without anyone noticing anything for hours until the jewelers came back in the morning then he tried to resell something he still which had a serial number on it and got caught so not that smart after all good effort though a friend of my brother moved to Israel where for a period of time it was or as acceptable to drive with an American driver's license he was pulled over for speeding and when asked for his license gave the officer his Costco card Costco is a membership based retail warehouse in the US and a few other countries the exchange apparently went something like this Officer Costco what is Costco friend it's the state I'm from officer that sounds made-up friend there are lots of states you probably haven't heard of have you heard of Arkansas how about Idaho officer I guess not friend well I'm from the small state of Costco the officer didn't have a response and wound up writing the ticket to someone with a Costco driver's license friend frame the ticket and still has it hanging on his wall well there was this one guy we'll call him Jack now Jack stole stuff but also involved a lot of people one time he was planning to steal a whole bunch of cars all luxury cars so what he did was he got his people to call 9-1-1 et Cie from all different places and countries to tell them that car theft was taking place in multiple places oh he also only used a few people each time so it was different voices people locations etc so the police went each time until he actually did the crime then no one came he was never caught when the owner of those cars came the police didn't believe him ten out of ten genius right there the story goes like this a homeowner walks out one morning to drive to work only to find his car missing he reports the car stolen to police a few days later his car is sitting back in front of his house when he gets inside he finds a note it was an apology that said the thief was in dire need of quick transportation and so he borrowed the first car he found with the keys inside the writer noticed the sticker on the car for the local sports team and just so there were no hard feelings he left four tickets to an upcoming game in the glove box for the home owner and his family so the home owner and his family attend the game but when they return home they find the house has been ransacked and all items of value are gone there's a small tourist town where I grew up that is divided in half by a big river the only way between the two sides is over a long bridge unless you go all the way around an hour mountain pass these guys called him like two to three bomb threats to a posh hotel on one side of the bridge I think they even left some dummy packages all the police went across the bridge to Detroit control etc the guys then called in a bomb threat on the bridge and started robbing stuff on the other side the police couldn't be positive the bomb threat was real or not and hesitated long enough to give the feeds a head start working in a home improvement store went younger this guy came in went to the snowblowers took one and went to the return desk said he wanted to return it but had no receipt they told him you need a receipt so he says ok I'll be back and wheels it off to his car through the front door he did this a few times apparently couple places even helped him load it back into his car obligatory not a car but clothes on 20 years ago now a guy on Australia's Gold Coast got away with a bank robbery in broad daylight he cased the bank for a while and discovered a pattern of the bank manager arriving about 30 minutes before anyone else each morning where he would leave a front doors unlocked so staff could help themselves in without a key or needing to wait for the boss to come and let them in one morning the crook dressed himself up for a busy day of office work and waited for the bank manager to arrive as the manager was unlocking the doors he made his move entering the building and threatening the manager with a gun he got all the details he'd need to access the vault and so forth and then tied the manager up and stuffed him in his office when the staff arrived he told them that the manager had called in sick and that Regional Office had sent him in to do the open shot thing and no one batted an eyelid this bank had a small walk involved that normally only held about 30 50k on any given day but old mate had timed his robbery for the morning after business banking day when all the local small businesses would make their end of week deposits and reportedly got a score of close to 250 K once the vault was opened he pulled his gun out and invited all the staff to enter the vault and locked them in by this stage the bank was due to be opened so when he went to leave there were a number of customers waiting to get inside to do their banking he told them all that there had been an issue with the computers and that the tech team had estimated it would take about 30 minutes before the issue would be resolved and that they couldn't open until then then he got into his car and drove straight to the airport and flew to Hong Kong and then disappeared to my knowledge the cops never caught him and never managed to find the money they knew he'd have had to leave most of it in Australia somewhere because you can only take 10k old in cash at any currency out of the country before customs pulls you into their interview rooms so the assumption was that he had to have an accomplice here who would funnel the money to him slowly over time a French thief who spent 10 years in prison became a comedian when he got out one of his stories finds a building goes in chooses a floor and transforms the exit door into an extra apartment puts the apartment number fake Lok welcome rug et Cie puts a knife on for sale the person comes to buy it he opens the door in a shower robe and says give me one second I'm just gonna count the money and he's gone from the exit stairs this was in the late 90s to early 2000s a guy in my dorm came to school solely to deal drugs he took out student loans registered for a bunch of 300-person freshmen survey courses where he would never be missed then literally never went to class all he did was go to raves and concerns and keggers and sale party drugs after the first semester he was suspended he roped the usual I was young and dumb and in over my head sob story and got put on probation for a semester so he had a repeat of the fall at the end of the year he was kicked out and didn't care he made something on the order of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in return for about eight thousand dollars in student loans to cover a year of housing and tuition so far as I know he was never caught it may have been a short-sighted maneuver in the long run but in the short run it seemed fairly genius to effectively use federal loans to start your drug business probably someone who committed a crime I never solved with that being said I had a guy use a sledgehammer to smash his way through a wall at a Best Buy and steal a bunch of phones and cameras he was smart enough to wear gloves and a face mask and not touch anything he didn't have two alarms didn't go off until he exited out the back door which the alarm company gets after a minute or two and takes them like three quarters minutes to call in to us giving him a good five minute head start so he was probably a few miles away before we got dispatched to it he clearly scoped out the area before doing his deed too smart dude a guy let's call him Dave I worked with told this story he was working as a Merced Steelers ship he was sitting at his desk when this well-dressed gentleman comes in and asks if he could test drive a specific car that was parked out front it was also a busy day usually they are allowed to let people test drive by themselves after they have taken some form of a deposit or something maybe the official ador something not really relevant so Dave gives out the keys the guy goes on his test drive and comes back a reasonable amount of time later he walks him and hands off the key gets his deposit / whatever back this was about closing time even possibly on a Friday everything is in order fast forward to the next business day Dave's boss walks in and realizes that one of the Merced's out front is gone Dave has to explain that the car was returned and that they have the key and everything turns out the criminal didn't test drives he drove somewhere to create a replica of the key and gave that replica back to the desk he kept the wheel key that smart son-of-a-bitch you have been visited by the sand Togo like and subscribe to turn your off day into a rough day [Music]

not even reading it; taking the posts in the video and running them through a text-to-speech program. this is the ultimate form of lazy, and the fact that they get paid for it is enraging.

[u/Sublimeslimetime]

I like people like Sorrow TV, who take the best content and use genuine VA talent to bring humour to them, or Soothouse who bring a whole bunch of people to commentate.

​

These channels, however, are a dime a dozen, and just take a single thread with Text To Speech.

​

And would you look at that.

​

Just over 10 minutes long.

Guy found a good market gap by doing basically nothing. How is that cringe?

[u/thesoulfulqtip]

[u/papayee_memes]

It actually takes a lot of work to do one, look it up

[u/Tenny111111111111111]

Stop recommending these fucking videos to me. It pisses me off.
