ANOTHER ONE OF LIFE’S LITTLE LESSONS #4772: If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. But if you write out your plans in crayon and glitter glue, chances are you’ll fail anyway.

CONSTANTA, Romania (Ananova) — A gang of Romanian robbers broke into a bank’s headquarters in a daring overnight raid - only to find it empty.

The three criminals expected to hit the jackpot with their raid on the Nova Bank in Constanta city centre.

But they did not know that the bank was relocating to new premises and the building was empty.

That’s right, they tried to rob an empty building. Alanis Morrisette calls that “ironic.”

A police spokesperson even said in the story that the robbers tried to make the best of a dumb situation by stealing the heating pipes from the walls. Police also said they stole some dust bunnies, two oxygen molecules and the spirit of a lost soul trapped in the men’s room.

Several neighbors spotted the unlucky burglars leaving the building, but police were unable to catch them. They did leave behind several clues including a half eaten bag of cookies, a copy of “Joe Dirt” on DVD and a Post-It reminder that read “Remember to take off your shoes BEFORE you go to bed.”
