Guest Bosstones Fan Report post Posted July 23, 2003 Robber nabbed after writing holdup note on resume Associated Press FORT WORTH -- A bank robber wrote a holdup note on the back of his resume -- the ultimate bad career move. Police used the job-search information to identify the man, who was arrested and charged with robbing a Wells Fargo bank branch on Fort Worth's east side. The man had tried to hide the personal information by taping black construction paper over it. But then he forgot to retrieve the note and take it with him after giving it to the teller. Police then just peeled the tape from the note. A tip led police to a Fort Worth motel, where Frederick McDowell, 32, was arrested Saturday. He remains in federal custody on a bank robbery charge in the July 15 holdup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Lil Naitch Report post Posted July 23, 2003 You know, I heard about another idiot years ago.. this guy treid to rob a jewlry store, I believe, by comming in through the air ducts at night. Well, while climbing through the ducts, he fell down a shaft, burst through the bottowm of the duct, and straddled a support girder hard, if you catch my drift Employees called the cops the next day when they found him, still straddling the girder, because he couldn't get down.

Guest MaxPower27 Report post Posted July 23, 2003 The best one that I've ever heard was the guy that robbed a bank, and sat down outside to count his money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DrTom Report post Posted July 23, 2003 My friend's mother is a forensic document examiner, and she worked on a case very similar to this a few years ago. The imbecile in that case wrote the note on the back of his job application, and all she had to do was verify that the handwriting was a match. Crime CAN pay, but not if you're a fucktard.

Guest Cancer Marney Report post Posted July 23, 2003 This has to be fake. Not necessarily. I'm not saying that it's true, but it's a well-established fact that 99% of all criminals regularly start the morning with a big dose of stupid pills. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
