DUMB CRIMINALS OF THE WEEK

by Hazed

Two thieves in San Diego broke into a Hooters last week and stole a jukebox.

Now, maybe they really, really wanted a jukebox of their very own. Or maybe they thought it would be worth something if they sold it on eBay.

But what police actually think happened is that they didn’t know they were stealing a jukebox. They thought it was an ATM!

CCTV footage of the theft shows that the bar was dark so it’s quite possible that they mistook one large cabinet full of electronics for another.

The cameras recorded the two suspects breaking the glass door of the branch of Hooters in Rancho Bernardo, then trying to reverse their truck into the restaurant’s lobby. But the doors were too narrow, and their attempt left bits of their tail lights at the scene.

So instead they wrapped the jukebox, which was about 5 foot high, in a tow strap and lifted it onto the bed of their pickup truck, then drove away.

I wonder what they thought when they examined their loot!
