Stupid Burglar.true Story!
23 Answers
My son shares a house with a police officer. The officer has just told this story which he swears is true.
Just before Christmas he was called to a house that had been burgled.
In the kitchen by the sink he found a business card from a plumber. The house holder told him the card had not been there before the robbery.
So he went round to the address on the card to talk to the plumber. To his astonishment the plumber confessed to having robbed the house. He said that while he was robbing the house he saw that the taps needed attention so he left the card in the hope he would get some work !

When I was about eight I decided that I wanted to join the police. I joined the civil service when I was 16 intending on joining up when I was older.
I am now 52 and haven't been able to work, due to mental health problems, for 12 years.
I have no idea where this post is going as my brain is on strike.

I`m with Nailit. I work in a large organisation and we have some fantastic circulating stories. Some of them have been going for decades. "Someone I worked with said that someone they know said.." etc. Strangely, nobody can ever name the person who told them the tale. I work on the principle whereby I presume at least 50% of the stories are false.
EDDIE, Sorry. Dont want to highjack your thread but my cynasicm isnt just my own. I wouldnt believe a word any copper said, from my early 20's until a few years ago. Ive been beaten up to the point where I have had to have stiches in my head to a few years ago when they openly lied in court about me.
A policeman finds a card from a plumber that tried to burgle a house??
For Gods sake.

OK NalitI accept your point.
I have worked inside a prison remember!
I always remember the prisoner who swore blind that he was wrongfully arrested. He said he had been away on holiday for 2 weeks. When he came back he found someone had broken into his house and filled it with TVs and computers! Just as he was wondering what to do the Bill arrived and arrested him for burglary ! He could not see why the judge /jury did not believe him!

Nalit just found a link that adds to your point

I heard of another crime where the perpetrator dropped his wallet with his driving licence at the scene of the crime and was nicked when he came back to look for it.

it's more than plausible.....there are some not-so-bright criminals out there....here's one from Wales in mikey country
A man who broke into a Post Office and stole cash was caught out after trying to use 1,000 pound coins to buy a car.
Daniel Allan Thomas, 29, from Port Talbot, went into the shop last month, before leaving with thousands of pounds and cigarettes.
He then tried to buy a second-hand Renault Clio and offered the owner £1,000 in loose change - weighing 9.5kg - which he had stolen from the post office.
But the seller did not accept the coins and contacted the police after reading about the burglary, reports Wales Online.
CCTV images were posted on the South Wales Police Swansea and Neath Port Talbot Facebook.
The images were posted on a police Facebook account - Thomas was identified from the footage and arrested but initially denied he was the person pictured.
