Doris Thompson – The 80-Year-Old Polite Burglar

by Spy Gadgets on March 1, 2010

Doris Thompson – the 80-year-old lady (well – not much of a lady) burglar who pleaded guilty to stealing around $1,400 from several doctor’s offices in the Los Angeles area – was in court yet again.  Thomson, who has a long criminal record that goes all the way back to 1955 – was in court this past week for her most recent crimes.

Doris thanked the judge and called the prosecutor “sweetie” after she was ordered to serve a three-year sentence in the state prison instead of the county jail.  The prosecutor in the the case later said that she, “just likes to steal”.  (Criminals are stupid no matter how old they are).

Rip Torn Arrested – Drunk With Gun – Celebrity Mug Shots

by Spy Gadgets on February 11, 2010

Rip Torn Mug Shot - 2006

Drunk actor Elmore “Rip” Torn was arrested by the Connecticut State Police for breaking into a bank on Friday night.  The Litchfielf Bancorp building was the target of the plastered Torn and while breaking-in, he set off an alarm which notified the authorities.  When pounced-on by police, was found to be carrying a loaded revolver (did I happen to mention that he was extremely intoxicated?).

He was charged with carrying a pistol without a permit, carrying a firearm while intoxicated, first-degree burglary, first-degree criminal trespass and third-degree criminal mischief.

78 year old Rip is no stranger to police and the whole arrest experience – in December 2008 – he was arrested for drunken driving and then later escaped from jail.

Before that he was arrested twice in New York for drunk driving in which he was acquitted by a jury in 2004 and plead guilty in 2007 to boozing-it-up behind the wheel.

When not drinking an abundance of alcohol and getting arrested, Rip Torn has a job as an actor.  He has had roles in the movie “Dodgeball”, a number of appearances in the NBC comedy “30 Rock”, had a number of Best Supporting Actor Emmy nominations for the HBO sitcom “The Larry Sanders Show” and

many more roles going all the way back to when he had his 1956 film debut in the movie “Baby Doll”.

Another One Stuck

by Spy Gadgets on March 24, 2009

It seems like every couple of weeks I hear the same story repeating itself:  “Stupid burglar found stuck in chimney, vent, window, etc…”  If the business or house has a hole in it – Bobby Burglar will try to break-in.

That’s what happened in Denver Colorado this past week.  The manager of a pizza place discovered legs [click to continue…]
