SUCKS TO BE the most inefficient thief of all time

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

dollar-and-change-by-xandertA Riverside County, California woman went on a robbery spree, holding up 11 different victims.

Her take? $6.

Yep, after the emptying the pockets and purses of 11 gun-facing, pant-shitting victims, she walked away with enough ill-gotten gain to buy a Starbucks latte.

Ma’am. We know there’s a recession going on and people don’t have a lot of cash on hand. But certainly you can do better than this. So the next time you decide to pull out the sawed-off, don’t rob an unemployment line or a soup kitchen. People there don’t have much to give you. No matter how close you point that gun.

And if you’re thinking of yelling, “Hold ‘em up,” you might want to consider doing it to someone other than the fragrant gentleman wrapped in a newspaper in an alley. He’s a little cash-strapped to.

They say crime doesn’t pay. You certainly proved it.

Sucks to be the poorest thief in the world.

SUCKS TO BE Gary Coleman, jailbird

Mr. Coleman's casting head shot

Mr. Coleman's casting head shot

“Diff’rent Strokes” star Gary Coleman isn’t living in the lap of luxury with a lily white adopted family and a goofy but lovable maid. He’s bunking with the cast of MSNBC’s “Lockup.” Why? Because the former child star is, well, locked up.

You see, earlier this week, Mr. Whatchutalkinboutwillis landed the role of  the Biggest Douchebag Boyfriend, when he was arrested for allegedly landing a few diff’rent strokes on his significant other.

And now, instead of reading auditions for b-movies and Lifetime specials, he’s reading pornographic poetry on his prison cell walls.

Sucks to be typecast as a floor-mopping, soap-dropping, license-plate-making asshole, doesn’t it, Arnold?

Want a little career advice? Stop popping up in our police blotters, shorty. And just go back to being the annoying Webster.

SUCKS TO BE robbers with nobody to rob

Thursday, January 21st, 2010
Where the f**k is everyone?

Where the f**k is everyone?

When a trio of ski-mask-wearing, gun-wielding thieves rode up on a Joliet, Illinois grocery store, they expected to scare the living cash out of pretty much everyone waiting in the Self-Scan lines.

Their evil plan was to go in, flash some firepower, and leave with bags of greenbacks, credit cards and $1 off coupons for Tide.

But what they found was 100,000 square feet of bupkus.

Not a single person was in the store. No customers. No stock boys. Not even a clerk they could hold at gun point until she gave up her change purse and the security code to the cash register.

Instead of hauling ass to a store that actually had customers with wallets, the three stooges, Sanjuan Reyes, 22, Jose Torres, 17, and a 16-year-old boy, hung out nearby and were eventually arrested by police.

Yep, the big time armed-robbers were hauled downtown for loitering.

Sucks to commit the crime of bad timing.

SUCKS TO BE Craig David, driver of the slowest getaway vehicle of all time

Saturday, January 9th, 2010
Vroom! Vroom!

Vroom! Vroom!

This week, Craig David, Jr. stole $50 from his girlfriend, and then proceeded to flee the scene of the crime on a Wal Mart scooter. Yes, he tried to evade capture riding a stroller.

Needless to say, law enforcement had no trouble catching up to him. Hell, Grandma Smithers with the bad hip and the diverticulitis had no problem catching up to him. The guy was doing 3.2 mph out of the parking lot. Soccer moms with shopping carts full of underwear and bulk-packaged cookies were yelling at Craig to move the hell out of their way.

Sucks to feel the need for speed.

Dude, don’t you know that to get away you need a vehicle that can actually get somewhere? Think sports car. Bicycle. A decent pair of running shoes.

A scooter, clearly ain’t gonna cut it.

After the 4.3 second chase past the shopping cart return bin, Mr. David was apprehended and charged with robbery and disorderly conduct. Although, our guess is he may get leniency for being such a safe driver.

SUCKS TO BE Raul Gaucin-Valenzuela, robber caught by his very own kids

Friday, January 8th, 2010

neighborhoodwatchWhen Raul Gaucin-Valenzuela broke into a home, he expected his victims to scream, “ROBBER!!!”

Instead, what he heard, was, “DADDY!!!”

That’s right, when Raul jimmied his way through the family room window, he found his very own children sitting there. Apparently they were visiting.

A little constructive criticism, Raul. Before you rob a place, be sure to case the joint. And if you can’t take the time to do that, at least make sure your intended victim isn’t part of your car pool to soccer practice.

Raul’s kids, ages 8 and 11, identified their dad through his black ski mask, and as a result he was charged with second-degree burglary, criminal mischief, child abuse and two counts of menacing.

Said Gaucin-Valenzuela in a statement to police: “Damn…If I’d known my children knew that family, I would have just had them grab some stuff.”

Sucks to be a crook who can’t think ahead.

SUCKS TO BE Marguerite Engle, the drunkest woman in South Dakota

The Engle Starter Kit

The Engle Starter Kit

On December 1, 2009, Marguerite Engle blew a 0.708 on the breathalyzer.

For those of you who are scoring at home, 0.08 is enough to land you in jail; 0.40 is enough to land you in a wooden box.

Yes, Ms. Engle consumed enough barley shakes and dirty martinis to kill her. Twice.

Yet, somehow, she lived. And that’s where the suckiness begins.

South Dakota’s Worst Drunk undoubtedly woke up to South Dakota’s Worst Hangover.  Think about it. If a 0.10 BAC makes you hurl up the Tostitos and cheese dip, then 0.7 must  have you spewing up your liver, your intestines and your toes onto the bathroom floor. Ick.

And then there’s Ms. Engle’s legal troubles.  On the night in question, the uber-wasted Marguerite was discovered behind the wheel of a car (a no-no in South Dakota). Which was stolen (also a no-no).

And after being released on bond, she missed her court date. Our guess is she was still nursing the bed spins and trying to quiet the jackhammers in her head. But, still that’s no excuse.

So the cops came after her again. Only to find her in a stolen car. Again.

Yes, Marguerite’s hangover may be gone by now. But her headaches have just begun.

SUCKS TO BE arrested for redecorating your apartment

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

sledgehammer-guyJonathan Fager and Christopher Macquarrie need to watch a little more HGTV. Because they’ve got the home decorating thing all wrong.

To update the look of their apartment, they decided to take a  sledgehammer to their walls. Repeatedly.

We’re no Martha Stewart, guys,  but we might have started with a fresh coat of paint. Perhaps a Blue Aster or a Zesty Yellow. You know, something happy and cheery to brighten the place up.

Instead, the two aspiring “Design Star ” candidates  decided to go Nouveau Crack House and create a scene reminiscent of a Tiger Woods-Elin Nordegren marital spat. The result of their design on a dime efforts: 120,000 dimes in repair

The landlord, whose tastes clearly leaned more to the traditional, was none too happy with the remodeling effort and had his tenants thrown in jail.

Now, Jonathan and Christopher are holed up in a prison cell — probably thinking the place could use a coat of paint.

SUCKS TO BE Santa in a recession

Thursday, December 24th, 2009
"Ho! Ho! Hold 'em up!"

"Ho! Ho! Hold 'em up!"

If you think the economy has only affected auto workers and Wall Street types who can’t balance a checkbook, just look north friends. Because Santa Claus, Inc. is in the red big time.

It’s gotten so bad that to increase cash flow, jolly old St. Nick has resorted to robbing banks.

The big guy was spotted in Nashville with a loaded gun and his big Santa sack emptied of presents and waiting to be filled with ill-gotten gain.

Sucks to be buying your presents instead of getting elves to make them, hey Santa? But when your business model includes an enormous labor force, lots of travel expenses and the worst distribution model in the history of distribution models, it’s only a matter of time before your corporate empire goes AIG.

So kids, if you’re expecting an expensive X-Box or a tricked out bike under the tree, don’t get your hopes up. Because this might be the year that Santa hands out those misfit toys.

SUCKS TO BE the cop who releases a forger with forged release documents

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Picture 9If a convicted forger hands you some papers declaring that he’s a free man, the first thought that pops into your skull is probably, “Should I check if these are forged?”

Not the case for one law enforcement officer at the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, who rubber stamped Nydeed Nashaddai’s release papers and sent him on his way to sign “Bill Gates” on a bunch of starter checks from Bank of America.

Not sure how the police officer missed the fact that the signature was signed in ketchup from the chow line and that the name actually read “Seamore Butts,” but he did.

And now’s his got to face the warden, who ain’t real keen on letting prisoners go free before they’ve been properly sodomized by their bunky.

Sucks to be demoted to the body cavity search team.

SUCKS TO BE arrested for getting married

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

wedding_fight-13069A couple in Spain was recently sent to jail for tying the knot.

We know, many of you out there consider marriage a life sentence in itself (albeit with better chow and prettier shower partners), but this isn’t the “oh my God she’s nagging me and forcing me to watch Glee ” sort of confinement.

This is real jail. With mad-at-the-world bunkies and pricky wardens.

The husband and wife, who have been identified only as 4563462 and 4787233, were arrested for breaching an order which forbade them from coming within 500 meters of each other.

The distancing decree was imposed on the love birds when they gave the marriage thing its first go-around and decided to use that time to beat the living wedding vows out of each other.

But after a year off from bickering and yelling and creating a public nuisance,  the Dueling Lovers thought they’d patch things up. And when Civil Guard officers discovered them together in their home town of Motril, Spain, they hauled ‘em off to the license plate factory.

The man was sentenced to six months; the wife, to four. And to think all they wanted was some good, loud make-up sex.
