Brainy Burglars

Of Interest
The following is probably the best definition of complete idiocy I've ever encountered. Have a look at these bumbling idiot's pictures and read the following Associated Press article from October 28 2008 originally posted on accessatlanta.com. CARROLL, Iowa — Police had no trouble identifying two men accused of trying to break into a Carroll apartment. Police were responding to a call about an attempted burglary when they pulled over a car matching the alleged suspects' vehicle. Inside the car, officers found two men with their faces blackened with permanent marker.
