Criminally Dumb Criminal

Unfortunately, there are far too many of us that have ended up living next to a neighbor who has seemingly completely lost their grasp on how to act like a reasonable, vaguely sane and bearable human being. Some people end up drifting quite far out there, and the last thing you want to find yourself reckoning with, is having to live next to them. Fortunately, this tale of pro revenge has a happy ending for some folks involved, and it sounds like Steve got the wakeup call he so sorely needed. For some more lovely drama between neighbors check out this HOA member who got their neighbor's car towed, and then how the neighbor returned the favor. 

We love to see this gem making the rounds again. We look back to a time, a strange and surprising time when what appears to be a runaway criminal named Anthony Ackers, up and decides to respond to his own "wanted" ad out in Richland, WA. What ensues is nothing short of a swift emotional rollercoaster, filled to the brim with banter and the inevitable moment when Ackers serves up his own demise. 

Every now and again we come across those moments when our faith in humanity is not disintegrated, but actually, beautifully restored. In this case, we have a guy who ended up buying a bike from a bike thief (the worst), and ultimately was able to return said stolen bike to the owner. Now that's just a win for humanity. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about various people that were their own worst enemies in court. Some criminally dumb criminals just seem to ask for it. For more absurdity from the courtroom check out these ridiculous overheards during court proceedings.

Man, this landlady sounds like a massive piece of work. She was out there running around, renting fake apartments to unsuspecting victims, and stashing all that cash away in the process. Any time a tenant catches a landlord in the middle of their shady and criminal antics, it makes for one deeply satisfying revenge.

If you're looking for more juicy landlord drama, you can check out the recent story on the tenant who taught a leasing agent how a lease works. Or if that still leaves you wanting more, check out the time a dude's landlord threatened him with an eviction, so he went full Karen.

Joshua Browder shared a text exchange between a landlord and a tenant that has since gone viral. We see the clueless, criminally dumb criminal of a landlord out himself as such, when he tells the tenant he used their SSN without permission. It's like the landlord has no idea how illegal this is.

Sometimes criminals are criminally dumb. Sometimes, it's as if lawyers experience the wonderful sensation of euphoria that comes from having someone else do their job for them. And usually that process is carried out by those individuals in mindless fashion. 

You don't see this kind of strategy from a runaway criminal, every day. Yes, it'd seem this guy decided to comment on the actual Facebook post by the police department looking for him. Not sure what the game plan was with that move, bud. 

This guy just introduced a new and pure genius way to potentially get out of having to deal with a speeding ticket. Who could've known that fart spray would be so clutch 

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share the worst defenses they'd seen made in court. The resulting insights offer rare glimpses at some criminally dumb criminals. These people were nowhere near ready for court, and their "defenses" speak volumes to that. 

When this guy's ex-girlfriend shafted him out of hundreds of dollars, he ended up going on to report her for tax fraud, and left her liable for thousands more. A revenge well done if we do say so ourselves.
