The World's Criminals Dumbest
WHAT WAS HE SMOKING? This one is ‘high’ up on the list of daft criminals. According to Bengaluru’s Susheel Kumar Moosad, prisons are for rapists, thieves and murderers. Correct. The former techie also firmly believed prisons are not for those who “smok[e] a plant that makes them happy”. As proof of his theory, he sold cannabis, along with an assortment of hallucinogens, on his subtly named Facebook page: Bangalore Cannabis. Here he had posted pictures of himself smoking pot. A good time as any to recall that the possession and consumption of narcotic and psychotropic drugs are illegal in India. The self-assured Moosad had also helpfully provided his contact details on his page. The cops got the peddler’s 16-year-old high down in a jiffy when they posed as customers and lured him into a trap. He had been obviously smoking some good stuff himself! ILLEGAL BRIEFS Early one morning a woman in Bridgend , Wales, discovered a burglar rummaging through her downstairs cupboards.

The startled robber fled—but not before the homeowner caught a glimpse, revealed as he bent over, of his strange underpants. The quirky boxers would prove the thief’s undoing.

Darren Machon, 39, was already wanted by police and arrested after a car chase in the town centre later that day. The suspect was changing his clothes in the holding cell when one of the officers noticed his undies, adorned with cartoon graphics of burgers, doughnuts and fries; the same fastfood medley the burglary victim had described her intruder as wearing. Machon’s ‘novelty underpants’ were held up as evidence against him in Cardiff Crown Court last August. He was sentenced to two years and 10 months for burglary and dangerous driving.
