A Tale of Two Wallets

Sunday, May 20th, 2007 • Filed under Burglaries, Cars, Robberies

If there’s one epidemic in Bad Criminal-dom besides alcoholism, brain herpes and jaundis, it’s leaving your personal identification at the scene of a crime. How do I know its so bad? There were actually two cases this week.

The first case occurred in Avondale, Ohio where a robber successfully hit a string of robberies in a weekend until he left his wallet behind at a KFC he just knocked over, according to WLWT-TV.

Their first clue the wallet might have belonged to the robber? People who usually eat at KFC don’t have enough money to even afford a wallet.

Then in McMinnville, Tennessee, a man burglarized several cars and would have gotten away with it if he hadn’t left his wallet behind, which included his personal IDs and his parole card, according to the Associated Press.

Won’t his parole officer be unhappy to hear he’s not putting his parole card in his safe place, the place where he also keeps his loot stash.
