The author says that in Belogorsk, the Amur region, a thief was detained.The
caretaker of the local kindergarten Lyudmila Yakubova noticed a stranger with an
axe on the monitor of the video surveillance system at night.She picked up the mop
and ran to the kitchen, where he was at the time.The man got scared, dropped the
axe and ran.But he got the door wrong - ran into the toilet, where the guard closed
it. The thief didn't manage to break down the door, the police squad arrived in
time. This is not the first time the police have detained him. The acting chief of the
criminal investigation Department of the Ministry of internal Affairs of Russia
"Belogorsky" Vitaly Bitsura said that the man regularly for the purpose of profit
got into educational institutions of the city. For which he was repeatedly punished.
The last time he broke into a school, he stole a camera. At the same time, at the
scene of the crime, he forgot his jacket with his passport.

The next story is that the 68-year-old Muscovite kept jewelry and a large amount
in dollars, neighbors gossiped for a long time and the rumor reached an
unemployed man from Abkhazia, who was repairing apartments nearby.the man
broke a window in the first-floor kitchen and pulled out everything he found.
Including 50 billion.However, the dollars turned out to be Zimbabwean and did not
represent any value, since they were used on the territory of the country from 1981
to 2009 (now Zimbabwe does not have its own currency).However, the thief took
one thousand Azerbaijani manats (equivalent to about 39 thousand rubles) and 100
us dollars.When the thief was detained, he asked for leniency, because the amount
stolen was small. However, the court sentenced him to five years in prison.

The third story is that a 20-year-old resident of lake city, Karen Lee Jeremy,
wanted to buy a gun for a robbery, but she did not find a dealer, and she was not
given a license for a legal weapon.And she thought about the robbery with an
electric saw.When she stormed into the Howard Johnson Motel receptionist's
cabin, demanding to open the safe immediately and give her everything in it, the
hotel staff burst out laughing.The thief looked very comical, because the electric
saw was not turned on. The police officers who came to the call also laughed.

Brownie Stone got so excited that when he went to the robbery, he forgot to take
off the uniform of a postal employee with a badge that had his name written on
it.So the first Brownie robbery was solved, for which he was given five years. But
the man was released earlier-for good behavior. And he went back to robbing the
bank. But there were so many people there that he was too shy to shout. He took a
piece of paper out of his pocket and wrote: "Give me the money, or I'll shoot you!"
and gave it to the cashier. The cashier gave the dollars. The cashier kept the paper -
and he handed it to the police. It turned out that the note was written on the back of
a letter sent to Brownie from the police.

Jack Stanford went to the robbery could not find a mask anywhere and used
whipped cream.He shook the balloon and squeezed them out on his face.In this
form, went to rob a bank.As Stanford pounded the counter with his gun and
demanded that the money be put in sacks, the cream settled and slid from his
forehead into his eyes. The robber began to panic, he ran to the exit.But he
confused the glass door with the window and lost consciousness, hitting his
forehead on the thick glass.

A woman came to the Toronto police with a statement that her car had just been
stolen from a parking lot. I left my money and phone in the car. While the lady was
making a statement, the police officer dialed the phone number and said that he
was calling for an ad in the newspaper that sold that car.The hijacker's greed was
ruined, and he agreed to set up a meeting. It was not difficult to arrest the criminal.

Two robbers stole a minivan to rob a bank in Philadelphia. Moreover, the criminals
were in such a hurry to rob that they did not pay attention to the fact that they were
noticed by the owner of the car and rushed after them. As a result, when the
robbers ran out with bags of money from the Bank, it turned out that the minivan
was not in place. The owner decided not to deal with the criminals, he just pushed
one of the accomplices out of the car and left in his car. Realizing that they were
about to be caught, the criminals ran. One of them was immediately detained by
the police, and the second one was very far away from the police. But then the
police caught him.For the robbery, the thief put on sneakers, the soles of which
flashed red lights.

A native of Sayansk, 30-year-old Dmitry Lapaev came to Saint Petersburg for the
first time. He saw the Pavlovsk Palace, broke a window and got inside. And there-
chambers! First of all, found cognac at the director's, drank, lay down in the
imperial chambers, danced rap in the reception hall, and drank more. He decided to
take a souvenir. He chose a gold statuette of a running militia man holding a
French flag, worth 5 million rubles. But he didn't go far with it. The thief was
detained two hours later on the Haymarket square along with the statuette. The
court sentenced Lapaev to 2.5 years in prison. At the verdict, he said he didn't
know it was a palace and thought it was just some rich man's house.

In conclusion,I would like to say that I believe that if you commit a crime then
carefully prepare it.Perhaps these people have seen enough movies where clever
robbers were able to commit a crime and easily escaped from the police.But life is
very different.
