The Marietta, Georgia Police Department recently came across a criminal that was so bad, that not only would they arrest him — they decided to publicly shame him for his stupidity.
Read their hilarious post below.
A request to the gentleman who shoplifted from one of our local pawn shops today.
Sir, you must have forgot that you gave the clerk your driver’s license with ALL of your personal information as well as providing him with your fingerprint when completing the pawn ticket before you stole from him which, by the way was also all on camera. Please at least try to hide. The judge has already signed the warrant. When you make it this easy it takes all the fun out of chasing bad guys!
Regards,
Marietta Police Evening Watch
The Police Department posted an update the following day.
An update to yesterday’s shoplifter,
Fortunately (for us) he turned out to be just as bad at hide & seek as he is at stealing. He was picked up by our Morning Watch Officers after a search, it was quite short…. We also found all of his drugs and the stolen property he took from the pawn shop! He is currently being watched over by the Deputies at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center!
Clearly, not the sharpest tool in the shed. If only it always worked out like that.
