Dumb crook of the year

The Brainiac Burglar


I had to laugh when I saw this dumb crook had been arrested. He’s possibly the dumbest crook of the year. Walter Lee Martin, Jr. was arrested for breaking into the North Carolina Museum of Art, but not because he couldn’t get tickets to the latest touring exhibit. And Martin wasn’t intent on stealing the millions of dollars of art that adorn the museum’s walls. No, Martin allegedly broke in because he wanted to steal scrap metal.

I suppose Martin never visited the museum. If he had, he would’ve noted that it’s covered with video cameras and has its own armed security force that guard the museum day and night. He might as well have tried breaking into a police station.
