This actually happened about a year ago but I could not help putting it up here anyway. It’s
so ridiculous that you simply have to read about it!!!

In the "How Dumb Can You Get?" column, we find a guy who wants to be a
thief or burglar but he just doesn’t have the right stuff for the job.
He apparently broke into an apartment by using his Ill. State
Corrections ID card. It wasn’t the wisest thing on earth to leave the
card at the scene of the burglary though. Takes the fun right out of the
thing for the police.

He was arrested for the burglary, drug stuff, etc. Seems he just got out
of prison in Illinois in January. Apparently, when someone does not have
regular state ID or driver’s license, they give the Corrections ID.
Guess he liked where he used to live. Got to get back to see the boys,
right?

Leave The ID. Maybe It Confuses Them.

BETTENDORF, Iowa (AP) - A burglary suspect was arrested after he left
behind a Corrections Department identification card he used to jimmy a
lock, authorities said.

Officers said they arrested Robert Alan Fry of Rock Island, Ill.,
after investigating the theft Tuesday of a plastic jug containing about
$400 in change from an apartment in Bettendorf. They said they found
Fry’s Illinois Department of Corrections ID card at the apartment and
arrested him Wednesday at a Bettendorf motel.
