Klutzy Crook 1998 Honorable Mention Darwin Award
A crook decided one day to steal an ATM. He knew that to remove the ATM from where it was attached to the wall, he had to remove the rear panel of the machine to move it. As soon as he had enough room to get back behind the machine, he squatted down to remove the panel. Well, the ATM machine had a silent alarm attached to it that went off when he moved the machine. The cops arrived at the scene and tried to figure out how the machine had been tampered with. Not knowing that the thief had stupidly chosen to hide behind the machine. As the forensics team was dusting for fingerprints, the thief sneezed alerting the authorities that he didn'e flee the scene.
I picked this Darwin Award, because I like the stupid thief stories. This is one of the better stupid thief stories. I hope he didn't steal anything else.
We can learn a lot from this Darwin Award actually. For instance, if one plans on stealing an ATM machine, make sure that you take the video camera into account. Also, be aware of any silent alarms, and don't hide behind the machine. Lastly, if you are that stupid, just turn yourself in before you commit your crime.
