thou shalt not steal if thou art stupid

By now I’m sure you’ve all heard about Jason S. Hamielec and Brian A. Johnson, two rocket scientists in Madison, Wisconsin, who lifted a bunch of video games and DVDs from a Target and discussed their plans to fence the goods while driving away.   In a bit of cheeky news, one butt-dialed 911 and police dispatchers were treated to almost an hour of discussions about what they had stolen and where they might sell it and the description of the blue Durango they were driving and how they’d put plates on to divert suspicion.

When they decided to try unloading the goods at a video store, they were rather surprised to see police cars surround them as they entered the parking lot.
