PARIS (Reuters) – What’s a television without its remote control? Not much, decided a thief in southwestern France who returned to the home from which he had just stolen a TV to pick up the remote control — and was arrested.

The man robbed a pensioner’s house in the village of Mussidan, taking the TV set and some hunting rifles, police said. While the pensioner was reporting the theft at the local gendarmerie (police station), the thief returned.

Alert neighbours tipped off the police and they caught the man red-handed.

Don’t you mean “remote-handed”? Ahahahaha, hahaha, ha. Sigh. My creative soul needs greater challenges than this. Hell, naked hopscotch is a step up.

The spokesperson for the Paris Police Department (motto: we’ll arrest you and make you feel inferior) characterized the burglar’s crime by saying, “I guess there’s daring and I guess there’s stupid.” But what he really meant to say was, “I guess there’s darying and I guess there’s American.”

The man faces charges of burglary, breaking and entering and impersonating a fat, lazy American.
