OK folks, this is beyond amusing or funny. Now it’s gotten downright annoying. It’s like that thing your girlfriend does right after you met, you know the thing with the feather and the tub of ice cream, and it’s great at first because you never thought you could experience such joy. But after it’s happened the 567th time, all the joy has been sucked out of it with a Hoover strength vacuum.

According to the Mobile Press-Register, a man was arrested for robbing a gas station after (wait for it) he left his ID at the scene of the crime.

Please folks, if you’re thinking about committing a crime obviously don’t commit the crime because that’s mistake number one, but then don’t leave personal identification for police to find at the scene. That’s what we in the business call a “clue.”

The crook went to the store and put some gas in his car, which technically is a crime committed against him by the oil company these days, but let’s not dwell on that subject.

He leaves, comes back with a gun, demands money from the clerk and then flees the store leaving his license behind at the scene, which contains such pertinent information as his picture, his name and his address. Police called in the crime lab to dust the license for fingerprints, then check the outlining edges to make sure the ID wasn’t a fake and then made sure the signature on the license wasn’t forged by someone else. This was Alabama, after all.
