Is it just me or are people getting dumber by the day?
Find answers to your legal question.





Is it just me or are people getting dumber by the day?

Several weeks ago, my daughter's bike and my mower disappeared from my yard. I called the cops, but with nothing to go on, nothing ever became of it. I walked out to my mail box an hour ago and as I was standing there, some teenage boys that live in a house a block or so away from mine came driving by with their windows down and the passenger yelled "Thanks for the mower!" and the driver said "My sister thanks you for the bike, too!"

I looked over at their license plate- which was a personalize plate- not hard to remember- and came inside and called the cops.

If they'd only known when to keep their mouth shut...

They stole them from my yard in broad daylight while we were inside eating lunch. I normally lock everything up at night.

haha thats excellent what idiots


yeah_but_we_all_are
Criminals are usually morons anyway, so I'm not sure you can say people in general are getting dumber by the day.


Babe
They are lucky they didn't run across the guy from Houston who blew away the two burglars. Too bad they didn't.

It sometimes seems that way.


Alli
That is absolutely hilarious! I hope they got what they deserved and you got your stuff back.

hahahaha, excellent.

I'd go down there with a billy jack club and liberate the neighborhood with their faces.

But then the aclu would get involved and cry "racists"

I hope the cops get your stuff back, that is righteous.

I had my truck stolen once. About 4 weeks later, the cops found it abandoned in some apartment complex. Long story short....they had left a credit card receipt under the passenger side seat. I believe they're still doing time in a prison near livermore.

Well just be thankful for the stupidity of teenage boys. Justice was served, that's all that matters.

LMAO I know! Have u ever seen the show WORLDS STUPIDEST CRIMINALS" ? So funny and like u said- they really do get stupider by the day! I hope u got your stuff back and I hope u prosecuted because he seriously needs to learn the lesson now!!! Thats how most criminals and murderers get caught is by bragging or opening their big mouths!


Sahara
Lol. That's good of them to tell you.

I wonder that myself almost daily if people are dumber or if it's just me. Sometimes I find out that it's not just me. Other times I'm not so sure. But one thing, it is all complicated.
It's never black and white.

Someone made a good comment about making sure you keep your stuff locked up. I always do. (experience) But my stepkids haven't learned that lesson yet. They have been lucky so far. I don't think it's dumb of you to leave them out.
It's just a smarter decision to not leave them out for temptation. People don't seem to care these days.


Geaux LSU Tigers!!!
It's the criminals that do the dumbest things. But if it gets them caught, good for us!

I love how a Fresno football player was drunk one night, drove into a condo (hit the bathroom area with the resident on the pot, of all things), and ran off. So he's suspended from the team, has a pending DUI, hit and run, suspended license. Then the day after he is reinstated to the team, he is caught with expired tags, and busted for driving with a suspended license. So he's off the team again. Gotta love it...

Driving by the owner and telling him you did it, Priceless.

HAHAHA I never care when dumbass criminals make my job easier by shouting an utterance like that. That is admissible in court and can be grounds for a search.

two words: JOB SECURITY

Thanks. Next time I will. But the mower didn't work anyway, and the bike had a flat tire. I'll be back when you get a new mower.

Maybe if you put your stuff in the house/ garage or in a locked shed, you wouldn't have had this problem in the first place?
Yeah it is stupid that someone would steal your stuff and than brag to you about it, but it is almost as stupid to leave your stuff lying around. I learned that lesson when I was about 10 years old when I had my bike stolen. Never again did I leave it laying around or not locked up.

Yeah I don't expect a Best Answer for this either.
