Stupid Criminals: I'll Stick an Xbox Down My Pants

Posted on Wednesday, November 9 @ 15:22:04 Eastern by Josh_Laddin
With the title of this manifesto, you're probably thinking a guy got busted while trying to walk out of a store with a giant console in his pants. The astonishing thing is, he didn't get busted, and he did walk out of the store. With a console in his pants. The stupid part is what happens next.


But let me back up. This guy, Timothy Mandes, was upset because his job application at a local Best Buy was turned down. So what does he do? He grabs a 360 out of a box, shoves it down his pants, and proceeds to steal it somehow without getting noticed. Unfortunately for him, the empty box would of course get noticed, and it only took a quick look at security camera footage to see who the culprit was.

Now let this be a lesson to any prospective thieves out there: do not attempt to steal from a place that has your personal info and freakin' home address on file. You know, because you just gave them your job application a few hours ago.

The cops just waltzed up to his house, tased him when he tried to run, and booked him. I love stupid criminal stories.

    Dude. He got away with a friggin' console in his pants. HIS PANTS. I'm sure he could've pulled it off with the box, or at least throw it away.

    The man giving the interview was once assaulted at an MC Hammer concert and now hates all pants that are overly baggy or shiny.

    Seen the size of the pants kids wear these days? You could fit the console, and the box.

    Probably had another reason for wearing large pants apart from shoving a 360 deep in 'em.
