3) Robber leaves call back number
He and his 24-year-old girlfriend Ashley Duboe then
proceeded to snap a series of selfies with the stolen cash and post them
to Facebook. If they were looking to score a lot of views, the couple
succeeded. A lot of people looked at the photos, including the police, and the couple was apprehended shortly after. Credit: John Mogan via Facebook
2) Stick shift stalls carjacker
When
17-year-old Mganga Mganga attempted to steal a woman's car in March
2014, his carjacking plan was completely stalled by his inability to
work a stick shift. The armed teen approached Melissa Peters in an Omaha
neighborhood around 7 a.m., as she was about to drive her 13-year-old
son to school, and jumped into her white Dodge Caliber hatchback. Eyewitnesses
report that Mganga then spent nearly seven minutes in the car,
switching on its windshield wipers and lights in a desperate attempt to
work the manual transmission, before cutting his losses and fleeing on
foot. When police arrived, they found the empty car sliding slowly onto a
neighbor's lawn. Credit: Omaha Police Department
*** AND... OUR FAVORITE...3) Robber leaves call back number
In
March 2008, 18-year-old Ruben Zarate attempted to rob a Chicago muffler
shop. He entered Velasquez Mufflers For Less around 8 a.m., disguised
in a mask and armed with a weapon. When he demanded money, however, one
of the store's mechanics told him that all the money was locked in a
safe only the manager could open. So, Zarate did what any hardened criminal would do. He left two phone numbers for them to call him back when the owner returned. And they did call him back... when the police got there. Credit: iStock
