A father from London, England wanted to make his 14 year old son’s birthday special. He already bought him that Nintendo Wii video game system last year and he got him that bike he wanted so badly the year before. What would he get him this year? He brainstormed ideas and came up with the perfect present for his son and did what any loving father would do - he set out to get him his very own hooker.
Pimp Daddy-o drove his son to the red-light district of Nottingham and told him to pick out the prostitute that he wanted. According to prosecutors, as the father was driving past one particular “street walker”, he pointed to the woman and asked his son, “will she do?”. The boy said, “yes”, while steaming-up the car windows a bit more. They then pulled over to set-up the deal with the hooker. Not only did the father have bad judgement in this whole ordeal but the son had bad judgement in discerning the differance between an undercover cop and an actual prostitute.
A Nottingham Crown Court judge decided to spare good ole dad any jail time (which gave him plenty of time to shop for that perfect case of hard liquor for Billy’s Easter basket). The judge said, “he did not mean any harm to his son” and allowed the boy to continue living with his father. (If you could throw someone in jail for just being stupid – this ‘father of the year’ would have a life sentence!).

Stupid criminals will do whatever it takes to get what they what. Take this guy from Massachusetts for example: 46 year old Frederick Nickerson likes the rock group U2 and when he found out that they were coming to in Foxborough (home of the New England Patriots) on September 21 , he came-up with an idea. He thought that his plan to get into the concert was fool-proof and even a fool like him couldn’t screw-it-up (he didn’t consider the fact that he’s also stupid).
When the day of the concert finally arrived, Nickerson drove to the stadium with exited anticipation (probably with his Bono sunglasses on) and walked up to the gate. He then flashed what looked like a gold Massachusetts State Police badge to obtain entry into the concert. The kid collecting tickets didn’t buy the game that Nickerson was selling and demanded to see a ticket. When he refused to produce a ticket, stadium security called police and he then was arrested. He pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct, trespassing and impersonating a public official.
That was then this is now . . .
This past weekend, Nickerson was at it again. He posed as a [click to continue…]

The Top Five Stupid Criminals of 2009:
I’ve been writing about stupid criminals for just over a year but I’ve dealt with the morons for over eight as a retail Loss Prevention manager (call me Rent-A-Cop or Paul Blart Mall Cop if you want – I’ve been called worse). While trying to prevent theft in the retail setting - shoplifters and stupid employees are the focus of people like myself. But as you could imagine, that gets boring at times and leads to other hobbies – like collecting stories, videos, and mugshots of stupid criminals.
Since it’s the end of the year, I’ll do what every lame news organization is doing and do a “Best Of 2009″. Most do a “Top Ten” of whatever but I’ll make it easier on your eyes and give you my top five. Since I’m lazy, I didn’t put these in any order (one story better than another) – so you decide your favorite. Here we go:
#5
The Naked Burglar – Larry Ticey
Texas is a big place – big enough for its fair share of stupid criminals. Take this story from Tyler, Texas for example:
When a man returned to his home this past Sunday afternoon, he noticed that his front door had been kicked in. He quickly called the police and when officers arrived they searched the house and quickly located the moron.
Officers first discovered a pile of clothes on the floor and then a very naked Larry Ticey in the bathroom taking a bath. After a short struggle with the police (like wrestling a greased pig), Ticey was arrested and booked into the Smith County Jail. He was jailed on a criminal trespass charge which is punishable for up to one year in prison.
#4
Calvin Hoover – Called 911 Because His Marijuana Was Stolen
21-year-old Calvin Hoover of Salem, Oregon had a big problem (several of them actually) on his hands. First of all, [click to continue…]
