Stupid Crimes

25-year science project?

Who would ever suspect this science teacher would be so creepy?

Police in Tennessee said teacher Louis J. Levine gave marijuana and alcohol to teenagers at his house and installed an elaborate camera system to watch them have sex. Detectives recovered hundreds of homemade videotapes in his bedroom.

People who were teenagers as far back as the 1980s told police they had partied and had sex at Levine’s house. But didn’t know they were being videotaped.

A real cat burglar

It’s the purrfect crime: Jack, a 1-year-old cat, has been burglarizing neighbors’ homes and stealing their clothing.

Judy Waring, of northern Idaho, said Jack started sneaking out at night to steal neighbors’ clothes last October. Since then, Jack has brought in hats, shorts, underwear and 27 pairs of gloves. Waring doesn’t know who the items belong to so she’s hung them on a clothesline in front of her house for neighbors to claim.

His alibi was razor thin

An Arizona bank robbery suspect was busted after he left his disguise in plain sight.

According to police, the bearded thief fled on foot, but was seen entering a nearby home. When Mesa police knocked on the door, 30-year-old Apris Sifo showed up with shaving cream on his ear.

Police searched Sifo’s home and found a bag stuffed with money, three notes with “I want your money” written on them, and 26 pounds of marijuana.
