Really Really Dumb Criminals 26 ~ Mystery Question

Patricia Bradley Mystery Question 46 Comments

Really Really Dumb Criminals 26 is this week’s Mystery Question. Again from the archives…but they’re still fun. I’m still shaking my head over the true ones from last week…

I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Fourth! I had a quiet one…missed the flyovers, so no photos of it. I think the temps reached 101° with a heat index of 106°…or maybe that was Friday…Needless to say, holidays mess up my days, even when they fall on a Saturday. lol

Now for the photo. I guess you can tell I’ve been flying again. It is amazing to be up in the clouds, looking down at the earth. That’s when that verse popped into my mind…did you ever wonder if the earth-is-flat people read the Bible? It plainly states God sits above the curve of the earth!

Now onto last week’s Mystery Question. These are from various police blotter reports. As usual, three are true, one I made up. It is your task to figure out which one. 🙂
  1. Hotel employees called police regarding an unwanted guest. Officers found him in the elevator, nude. He said he thought it was a shower. Camera footage showed the man entering the elevator fully clothed, but he soon began disrobing.
  2.  A woman displeased with the way her housekeeper put her towels away  called her local police and requested a deputy to come and talk to her.
  3. A farmer called police at midnight after his rooster backed a teenage boy into a corner in his henhouse. It turned out he’d been dared to sneak into the henhouse and steal a chicken. He hadn’t counted on the guard rooster.
  4. During a disturbance call, a man gave officers a false name and was arrested after he was found to have warrants for both names.

And the answer is…#3! Congrats to all who guessed correctly.

Now for this week’s Mystery Question: Really Really Dumb Criminals 26. Below are four different crimes. Three, unfortunately, are true. I made up one. Can you guess which one?
  1. A woman posed as a deputy and showed up at the prison where he was being held with bogus papers for his release. They got away with it until the actual deputy called to say he was coming to retrieve the prisoner.
  2. A teenager hacked into a government server on a lark and within twenty-four hours, federal agents swarmed his parents’ house, holding them for questioning for another twenty-four hours before they took the boy away
  3. in handcuffs.
  4. Officials canceled a Silver Alert for a 70-year-old man after a detective pulled him over and noticed a woman who appeared to be dead buckled into the passenger seat. He’d been driving with her in the seat for a week after she died at a hotel.
  5. A man was arrested after he drove his lawn mower, complete with trailer, into the side of a squad car. The state previously suspended his driver’s license. When he registered three times the state limit on the Breathalyzer, he claimed the state spiked his bloodstream.

Okay, Mystery Sleuths, which one did I make up? Leave your comment and I’ll enter you in a July drawing for a booklight…or something…  🙂 I’ll be traveling Tuesday, so it may be late before I answer the comments, but I will!

I’m still in a patriotic mood and want to share one of the most beautiful renditions of the Star Spangled Banner I’ve ever heard. I hope you enjoy!

    Glad you’re flying again. Regarding flat-earthers, I remember one of the first airline flights I was on, I could see the distinct curvature of the earth and immediately wondered how anyone seeing that could think the earth was just a flat disk.
    Loved that rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.

    OK. Dumb crime time…
    #1. Forgery 101.
    #2. Oops. Caught with his fingers on the keyboard.
    #3. I’m not going to go there.
    #4. Keyboard check.
    #5. Have mower. Will travel. Wire bail bondsman.
    Unless those prison officials were sleeping at the switch, I think you made #1 up.

    My 4th was quiet, too. I did watch two really good patriotic movies. On the 4th it was “1776” the musical. On the 5th, it was the 2024 “Reagan”. I highly recommend both!

      Your 4th sounded quite peaceful. I went to the doings at the Red Barn, then came home and did nothing because it was lightning. I had no idea Florida was the lightning capital of the US…we’ll see if it’s #1 next week…

    Our 4th was quiet also. You are so good at making up one, that it is always hard to choose which one. I’m guessing #3, because why would they put handcuffs on the boy? Great song, great picture, and wonderful verse!

    I am hoping you made up the 70 year old man driving around with a dead woman in his car.

    Thank you for sharing the song. It is great as usual.

    I think I saw the man with the dead woman on Adam 12!
    Our big day was Friday. We saw Young George Washington at tge theater on Saturday. I always enjoy reading about your dumb criminals.

    The picture makes me want to go flying. Great choice of Scripture. I love how you match them up week after week.

    I don’t know which one is made up but #3 has to be true. I imagine “in handcuffs” has occurred a few million times at least. It seems the last one is a popular choice this week. I’m going with that one.

      I love that view from the air. After we got gas and took off again, we flew through a hole in the clouds, but I had my phone in my back pocket and couldn’t get it out in time. lol We’ll see if it’s #5 next week!

    I’m guessing #4. I sure hope it’s is made up, I can’t imagine driving around a dead person, even if they’re in a coffin! Could #5 have been George Jones by chance? He was known to drive around on his riding mower a lot when he had too many! Lol!
    Those clouds are so peaceful looking!
