They’re Not So Sharpie

Friday, October 30th, 2009 • Filed under Burglaries

When we were kids, sniffing markers was the closest thing we had to a shot of Jack. Sounds like these two got a whole snout-full.

Two burglars tried to paint their faces with Sharpie markers instead of wearing masks, according to The Smoking Gun.

The victim originally said he saw two “hodded-wearing males” entering his home. No wonder police didn’t arrest them until a traffic stop since they were wearing “marked faces.”

The mugshots show they didn’t even finish the job on their masks. Halloween must suck for them.

    wow he’s still dumb. theres more mature was to go about handling things, like a face to face conversation, he should of tried that first instead he ended up with charges and looked like an idiot at the same time!!! wow very talented i must say lmao ;) great job!!!

    Wow, true idiocy there. Joey, I wouldn’t be telling everyone that, because your uncle is an idiot. Does the family tree branch out? I mean seriously….anyone with a brain would have realized that it was bound for disaster to paint your face with a sharpie marker. Or maybe he just sniffed too many when he was younger? Either way, it’s completely retarded.

    Okay, Joey, you are such a liar. I saw the episode of “The Smoking Gun” where this was shown. And he faced 4 years in prison. So it is obviously not your uncle. Also, I agree with Laura. The apple does not fall far from the tree.

  • You're All Effing Retarded says: August 4th, 2010 at 7:41 pm

  • RESTRICTED says: October 16th, 2010 at 10:26 am

  • Don't diss the sharpies, people! says: October 19th, 2010 at 10:02 am

    I love sharpies, but masks are probably more effective (and easier to remove) than coloring all over your face.

    I hope I never grow up to be like those guys. >_>

  • Flu-Bird says: November 25th, 2010 at 10:15 pm

    Those two will be the luaghingstock of the prison every convict and guard will get a amuzing one from those two dummies

  • David says: November 27th, 2010 at 2:29 pm

    EPIC FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Lala says: June 30th, 2011 at 10:23 pm

    Unlike commenter ‘Joey’, I really do have experience with one of them. When I was in a psych ward for anorexia a few years ago, I met the blond guy who was in for substance abuse. He was NOT the sharpest tool in the shed :P This doesn’t really surprise me…
