My favorite stupid criminal story comes from the late 1990s. A man robs a convenience store; after getting the cash, he demanded a bottle of alcohol from the behind the clerk display. The clerk, probably too scared to think clearly, responded with a well-ingrained "I will have to see your ID."

The robber handed the clerk his driver's license.

The clerk returned the ID and handed him the bottle. The robber fled, and the clerk immediately wrote down what he remembered of the robber's address and phone number. With this information, the police caught the robber at home, enjoying a drink and counting the proceeds from that and two earlier robberies.

And let us not forget the numerous stories of wanna-be bank robbers who write the demand note on their own deposit slips.
