Really Really Dumb Criminals 8 ~ Mystery Question

Patricia Bradley Mystery Question 48 Comments

Really Really Dumb Criminals 8 is this week’s Mystery Question. I can’t believe how dumb criminals are sometimes. They certainly aren’t like the ones portrayed in books and TV. lol

But first the photo and verse. It’s one I love and have used before. I didn’t take the photo, but it fit the verse so well. I hope you enjoy it.

Now for last week’s Mystery Question, Really Really Dumb Criminals 7. As usual, four choices, three of which are true. I made up one–can you guess which one?
  1. If you’re going to rob a store where you regularly shop and the clerks know you, make sure it isn’t one that has your name and address because you rent movies there. That’s what happened to one guy. Police quickly nabbed him at his home.
  2. Don’t be like the man wanted for multiple felonies who was found folded inside a dryer by deputies. They pulled him out limb by limb along with a dryer sheet, socks and unmentionables, and took him to jail.
  3. During a routine traffic stop, police uncovered a stolen car, cash and a loaded revolver along with a bag labeled “Definitely not a bag full of drugs” — which, of course, was full of drugs.
  4. Two guys robbed a little convenience store, wearing ski masks. The robbery went well…Unfortunately, the two also wore their sports letter jackets with their names on the back. They were later arrested.

And the answer is…#1. Congrats to all who guessed correctly.

Now for this week’s Mystery Question, Really Really Dumb Criminals 8. As usual, four choices, three of which are true. I made up one–can you guess which one?
  1. If you’re a convicted felon, it’s not a good idea to arrive at a fire in a converted squad car with lights flashing and pretend to be a police officer. It will land you in jail.
  2. When you steal a motorcycle, be sure to steal one with enough gas to make a getaway. This thief didn’t and was nabbed as he duck-walked his cycle up a hill.
  3. Don’t be like the burglar who almost got away. His problems started when the homeowner returned home early. The burglar thought it’d be a good idea to hide in the pool, the well-lit pool.
  4. Wouldn’t you know the would-be thief would pick a truck to steal that had issues? He broke into the truck only to have the doors lock behind him. Doors that only opened from the outside and kept him imprisoned until the police arrived.

Okay, Super Sleuths, which one did I make up? Leave your answer in the comments, and I’ll enter you in a March drawing for a book from my library. February’s winner is…Edward Arrington!

Here’s a song I heard last week, and I thought you might enjoy it.

    I thought that photo looked familiar along with the verse. Always a good choice.
    Congratulations Edward for winning the book!
    Early this morning when I was setting my trash bin out for the weekly pickup, I saw the total lunar eclipse. Cool!

    Now for the crazies…
    #1. I don’t see the point to this one.
    #2. Definitely a possibility.
    #3. Bad time for a dip.
    #4. I’ve heard of faulty vehicle door locks with this behavior, so it’s possible.
    I’m going with #1 as the one you made up. Why would someone do that? Guess maybe that’s why they’d be crazy.

      Tim, I went out at 6:15 this morning but the moon was too low in the western sky here in Florida. Lucky you! And I love your logic…we’ll see next week if it’s #1…

    Could be any one of the four. I think it’s #4, but I’m going with #2 because you had me with him duck-walking the motorcycle up the hill.

    We can certainly count on these for a needed laugh each week. I’m going with #4 partly because I think if you’re inside, there has to be a button or release to get you outside!

    I think it is #1 this week. I would think that lights are removed before it is sold to the public.

    I am guessing #3 this week.

    I enjoyed the song. I had not heard this version before. I am more familiar with a different version.

    I would love to take a picture like that. I remember the first time I ever took a picture of a deer in the woods. Brenda and I were in San Francisco many years ago. We took a drive across the Golden Gate Bridge and headed east to swing around the northern side of the San Francisco Bay. Somewhere up there, we were going through a park and I caught a glimpse of a deer in the woods. I had to walk a short distance to get where I could focus on it. I think I took two or three shots that didn’t turn out so well, but I didn’t know until a couple weeks later when I got the film developed. I just remember how excited I was when I got back in the car. I was shaking all over. I’ve seen many deer since then, but the setting never was the same. The verse certainly fits this picture.

    I remember hearing Red Sovine sing several songs back in the day, but I never heard his rendition of this one. It’s a good song.

    I’ve got to go with #2. If the cycle is out of gas, cut your losses and get as far away as possible on foot. After all, there’s the downhill side but then there’s usually another hill to climb.

    I appreciate winning another book!

      Edward, I would love to take a photo like this! The lighting, the deer and the stream are perfect. Maybe one day. I went out this morning with my camera to get a shot of the eclipse, but the moon was too low in the Western sky. We’ll see next week if it’s #2. I’ll send you an email in the morning about the books!

    HI Patricia,

    I love this verse and that picture is just perfect. I’m going to have to go with #1. I just can’t see that happening in real life. Criminals are not really the brightest of people sometimes!

    I took my dog out in the middle of the night to discover the lunar eclipse and then woke up my whole family to come watch it with me. I got a new camera for Christmas so snapped a few pics.
