Ever been tempted by a life of crime? As the stories in this hilarious collection illustrate, unless you're a lot smarter than the average law-breaker, it may not be such a good idea. Time and time again would-be felons with supposed master plans have shot themselves in the foot - on occasion quite literally! Whether storming into a bank having forgotten to put eyeholes in the bag they're using as a disguise, or writing their ransom demand on the back of their own parole card, some dumb criminals give crimefighters a far too easy time of it! With over 100 true stories of the funny, bizarre, and sometimes tragic exploits of the world's most hopeless crooks, The World's Stupidest Criminals provides a wealth of insight into the workings (or lack thereof!) of the criminal brain.
